removing element

[MrAdam]

i used:

		var searchMenu = document.createElement("searchMenu");		searchMenu.id = 'searchMenu';		searchMenu.style.width = '200px';		searchMenu.style.height = '50px';		searchMenu.style.backgroundColor = '#eeeeee';		searchMenu.style.border = '1px solid #b8b8b8';		searchMenu.style.fontFamily = 'arial';		searchMenu.style.fontSize = '11px';		searchMenu.style.position = 'absolute';		searchMenu.style.top = top;		searchMenu.style.left = left;		searchMenu.style.padding = '10px';		searchMenu.innerHTML =	'link<br />' +					'link<br />' +					'link<br />';		document.body.appendChild(searchMenu);

.. to create a little popup menu, but i want to remove it when i run another function. how do i do this?-thanks

oh wait, i've sorted it:

function menuClose() { 	var menu = document.getElementById('searchMenu');	document.body.removeChild(menu);}
