JS - how to remove image with JavaScript?

Question

I faced a problem as to remove image with JS code like a...

...
document.getElementById(\'image_X\').src=\'\'
         


        

Answer 1

This should do it:

var el = document.getElementById('image_X');
el.parentNode.removeChild(el);

You can try it here.

You can neatly wrap that into a function like so:

function removeElement(ele) {
    ele.parentNode.removeChild(ele);
}

removeElement(document.getElementById("image_X"));
