How do I remove a child node in HTML using JavaScript?

Is there some function like: document.getElementById("FirstDiv").clear() ?

If you want to clear the div and remove all child nodes, you could put:

mydiv = document.getElementById('FirstDiv'); while ( mydiv.firstChild ) mydiv.removeChild( mydiv.firstChild );

You have to remove any event handlers you've set on the node before you remove it, to avoid memory leaks in IE.
