I am having a table like:
<table id="toc" class="toc" border="1" summary="Contents">
</table>
in many pages .. All these pages are rendered in a single page. when I apply the Javascript to delete that using on load. Only one table is deleted and not the others.
I am trying to delete the tables in all the rendering pages using Javascript. How to do this?
Edit :
I myself found the solution
<script type='text/javascript'>
window.onLoad = load();
function load(){var tbl = document.getElementById('toc');
if(tbl) tbl.parentNode.removeChild(tbl);}
</script>

Reset to default 4Here's a rough sample
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function removeTable(id)
{
var tbl = document.getElementById(id);
if(tbl) tbl.parentNode.removeChild(tbl);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<table id="toc" class="toc" border="1" summary="Contents">
<tr><td>This table is going</td></tr>
</table>
<input type="button" onclick="removeTable('toc');" value="Remove!" />
</body>
</html>
Really want to delete the table altogether?
var elem = documenet.getElementById('toc');
if (typeof elem != 'undefined')
{
elem.parentNode.removeChild(elem);
}
You could also hide the table rather than deleting it.
var elem = documenet.getElementById('toc');
elem.style.display = 'none';
If you need it later, you could simply do:
var elem = documenet.getElementById('toc');
elem.style.display = 'block';
<script type="text/javascript">
function deleteTable(){
document.getElementById('div_table').innerHTML="TABLE DELETED"
}
</script>
<div id="div_table">
<table id="toc" class="toc" border="1" summary="Contents">
</table>
</div>
<input type="button" onClick="deleteTable()">
var tbl = document.getElementById(id);
tbl.remove();
