Deleting XML nodes?

This is a sample of my XML file:

<blogs>
<blog>

<bbody>betcha gonna work now..</bbody>

When I wish to add a new blog, this code is run:

var blogsTag = xmldom2.getElementsByTagName("blogs")[0];
var comments = xmldom2.getElementsByTagName("comment");
var blogs = xmldom2.getElementsByTagName("blog");
var newBlogNode = blogs[0].cloneNode(true); // deep clone of first message
newBlogNode.getElementsByTagName("id")[0].firstChild.nodeValue =ID;
newBlogNode.getElementsByTagName("title")[0].firstChild.nodeValue = Title;
newBlogNode.getElementsByTagName("bbody")[0].firstChild.nodeValue = Body;
newBlogNode.getElementsByTagName("image")[0].firstChild.nodeValue = Image;
newBlogNode.getElementsByTagName("bdate")[0].firstChild.nodeValue = Date;
newBlogNode.getElementsByTagName("buser")[0].firstChild.nodeValue = Name;
blogsTag.appendChild(newBlogNode); // append new message node to blogs

xhr2.onreadystatechange = ProcessResponse2;
xhr2.open("POST", "saveXML.asp?file=blog.xml", true);
xhr2.send(xmldom2);



This code works perfectly to add a new blog. However, because the new blog is a clone of the first blog, all the comments of the first blog aren't deleted for the new blog when it is created.

How do I delete all the nodes with the name 'comment'?
What extra lines in my code do I need?

[ZeroKilled]

after you clone one blog, remove the element comments, then create a new element comments, and append to cloned blog:

newBlogNode.removeChild(newBlogNode.getElementsByTagName('comments')[0]);
newBlogNode.appendChild(document.createElement('comments'));

of course, you will end up with a blog with no comments.

Thankyou SO much! It worked perfectly.
I have searched the internet for hours trying to solve this problem.

I can't say thankyou enough!
