Title: is "delete" really the best/only way to remove a node in e4x?

A further note:  Normally, we will use XMLListCollection to manipulate dataProviders, and that interface DOES have a removeItemAt(), so this is again not a big deal.   Tracy   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Tracy Spratt Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2006 9:29 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] is "delete" really the best/only way to remove a node in e4x?   I am not really fussing very hard, it is just that we have:   XML.appendChild() XML.insertChildAfter() XML.insertChildBefore() XML.prependChild()   but no XML.removeChild?   delete is a completely different style syntax.   Tracy   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Gordon Smith Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2006 9:02 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] is "delete" really the best/only way to remove a node in e4x?   I don't know whether it is the best or only way, but it seems consistent with the use of the 'delete' operator to remove a dynamic property of an Object.   - Gordon   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Tracy Spratt Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2006 4:48 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] is "delete" really the best/only way to remove a node in e4x?   If this is the final API, I can deal with it, it is just inconsistent and undocumented, and a bit of a shock when the rest of the api is so clean and logical. I admit I have not read the e4x specification.
