Delete all <br> from a <div> using only Javascript

How can I delete all <br> from a <div>, using only Javascript? Even a single <br> would work.

I know there is a way to do it with JQuery, but does anyone know a way to do it with Javascript?

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.
