anyway, you have to use document.getElementById() to correctly operate with elements tree. Constructions like document.forms[] is very old IE-oriented. But supported by some browsers for backward compatibility.

I think you are having trouble with firefox. In IE your code seems to work without any problem.

For removeNode to work in both IE and FF you can write like this

var objectToRemove = document.getElementByID ( "your object to remove" );

var parentNode = objectToRemove .parentNode;

parentNode.removeChild ( objectToRemove );

Hope this helps
