[/HTML]
it's very urgent so i really need your help!!!
i'll appreciate if you could send your answers to this mail : [EDIT]

assign id to your <br /> element like:

<br id=myid />

so you can remove it by:

var obj = document.getElementById('myid');
obj.parentNode.removeChild(obj);

If you can not add id to tag, use getElementsByTa gName instead. But it will be hard to find right one in the array.

…“i'll appreciate if you could send your answers to this mail : [EDIT].”

Just as an FYI…it’s better to go to your control panel and set your post to “immediate email” rather than ask other members to send the response to you in email. The reason for doing this is two-fold: 1) responses should be posted to the site so that everyone can benefit them; this saves a great deal of time for those looking for the answer to the same question you’ve asked, and you benefit from others posts as well. 2) It takes extra time for members to email you their response, and you might not get the responses you are looking for because many people who do not know you may not wish to share their email address with you.

Dasty's response looks like the best way to do it.

Good luck,

about the mail i apologize you're correct....
as to the <br/>... i'm using a management system that i don't have access to its code. i can't assign an id to the node.
is there a way to find the next node in line and deal with it? i know the id of the DIV element that comes before the <br/>.

i have another question ... i tried to give the div "win_233906 " a background image at the bottom with css code:

background-image:url(\imgs\bottomRound.jpg);
background-position:bottom;

but for some reason i can't see the pic in IE7 or FireFox v2....
can you help me?

asafok,

As long as the HTML code doesn't change, you can use the other method Dasty mentioned.

Essentially, what you want to do is get the parent element using getElementsByTa gName(), then select the node number. So if the <br/> node is the 4th node under the parent, then it would look something like this:

[code=javascript]
// replace 'parentName' with the actual parent of the node to remove
var parent = document.getEle mentsByTagName( 'parentName');

// first node is 0, second is 1, etc...where 3 is the 4th node to remove
var obj = parent[3];

// now put it all together
obj.parentNode. removeChild(obj );
[/code]

Just remember, if you don't own the site, then it may change, and you will have to change your code to match.
