Replacing a form element with text

[Armed Rebel]

Hi, I'm working on a spelling function that, when an incorrect word is found, it creates a dropdown box with the suggestions. When you change it, it replaces the word in the post box, and the select is replaced with the user's choice. The problem I'm having is with the replacement of the select/text. The problem being I have no idea how to do it, and I've looked everywhere with the help of google.This is all I've got (ignore the id):

var c = document.getElementById("word"+id2+"."+id1);	c.parentNode.removeChild(c);

I had to code to add in a "text node", but that puts text in the <select> tag, so it's removed with the above code.Thanks for any help.

I got what I wanted. I discovered the function insertBefore() which worked perfectly. Thanks though.
