Is there a DOM function which deletes all elements between two elements in JavaScript?
Let’s say the following are our elements −
<p>My Name is John</p> <p>My Name is David</p> <p>My Name is Bob</p> <p>My Name is Mike</p> <p>My Name is Carol</p> <footer>END</footer>
We need to remove the
element and its content. The
elements are in between the START and END.
To remove elements between two elements, use the concept of remove(). Following is the code −
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initialscale=1.0">
<title>Document</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<nav>START</nav>
<p>My Name is John</p>
<p>My Name is David</p>
<p>My Name is Bob</p>
<p>My Name is Mike</p>
<p>My Name is Carol</p>
<footer>END</footer>
<script>
const startingPoint = document.querySelector("nav");
const endingPoint = document.querySelector("footer");
while (startingPoint.nextElementSibling &&
startingPoint.nextElementSibling !== endingPoint) {
startingPoint.nextElementSibling.remove();
}
</script>
</body>
</html>To run the above program, save the file name “anyName.html(index.html)” and right click on the file. Select the option “Open with Live Server” in VS Code editor.
