Dear all,

I did some search and found this to be the most responsive group.
Could somebody please show me using code how I could delete a child
node (off a specific parent node) from XML using DOM ?

Thanks in advance for your time.

Regards,

See <http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/org/w3c/dom/Node.html>.
There is a removeChild(Node) method.

You would use the method org.omg.dom.Node.removeChild(Node oldChild) on
the parent node of the node which you wish to delete, passing a reference
to the node that you wish to delete as the 'oldChild' parameter, so:

Node parent = node.getParentNode();

if (parent != null)
{
parent.removeChild(node);
}

Cheers!
