I am trying to remove an input element from a form with the above statement in a javascript. It works on all other browsers but not on FF. It does not generate an error either. Instead of removing the item it just seems to be ignoring the statement.

I remove the element with the above statement and then re create a new one with document.createElement. In FF it duplicates the element.

Firefox only supports innerHTML and not outerHTML, so you need to use other code for Firefox.
