Assuming I have an element called menu how would I remove this element from the page? Is there a document.removeElementById function? or something equivalent?

No direct mand but this will do what you need:

var element = document.getElementById("menu");
element.parentNode.removeChild(element);

You can wrap it nicely with function if you want. :)

This should work?

document.removeChild(menu);

Or

menu.parentNode.removeChild(menu);
