Rails spinoffs - Jan 2006 - Re: Rails-spinoffs Digest, Vol 8, Issue 25

For removing or changing a given element, these two functions (from 
the element object) seem the business

remove: function(element) {
     Element = $(element);
     Element.parentNode.removeChild(element);
   },

   update: function(element, html) {
     $(Element).innerHTML = html.stripScripts();
     setTimeout(function() {html.evalScripts()}, 10);
   },

Thanks to everybody for responding, and especially to Tom Fakes for 
pointing this out!
