Delete all
from a
using only Javascript

Question

How can I delete all `
` from a `

`, using only Javascript? Even a single `
` would work. I know there is a way to do it with JQuery, but does anyone know a way to do it with Javascript?

Accepted Answer

```
var parent = document.getElementById('parent_element');
var var1   = parent.getElementsByTagName('br');

for(var i = var1.length; i--;) {
    var1[i].parentNode.removeChild(var1[i]);
}
```

Note the reverse iteration, it's a live nodeList that is being modified, so it's a good idea to iterate in reverse.
