removes and returns a child node from the DOM

Description

Removes and returns a child node from the DOM.

The removed child node still exists in memory, but is no longer part of the DOM. It can still be re-used, via the oldChild object reference.

Syntax

var oldChild = element.removeChild(child);
element.removeChild(child);

where,

child is the child node to be removed from the DOM.

element is the parent node of child.

oldChild holds a reference to the removed child node. oldChild === child.
