    copied!<p>Ok so I'm trying to remove an object called Comment from the main Html file. Here's the code:</p> <pre><code>function Comment(message){ var self = this; var child = null; var message = message; var comment = document.createElement("div"); comment.id = "comment"; comment.textContent = message; var replyField = document.createElement("ul"); var reply = document.createElement("input"); reply.type = "submit"; reply.value = "reply"; comment.appendChild(reply); var deleteBtn = document.createElement("input"); deleteBtn.type = "submit"; deleteBtn.value = "delete"; deleteBtn.addEventListener("click", function(comment){deleteComment(comment)},false); comment.appendChild(deleteBtn); comment.appendChild(replyField); return comment; } function deleteComment(comment){ var parent = document.getElementById("wall"); parent.removeChild(comment); } </code></pre> <p>Once I have created the "Comment object" and prepended it to a <code>&lt;ul id="wall"&gt;</code>, the delete button does not work for some reason. Can Anyone help me? </p> <p>here is the html code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;head&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="Jquery/jquery-1.4.4.js"&gt; &lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="src/Comment.js"&gt; &lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; $(document).ready(function(){ $("form#newMessage").submit(function(){ var message = $("input#newMessageTxt").val(); var newComment = new Comment(message); var commentHtml = newComment.outerHTML; $("ul#wall").prepend('&lt;li style="display: none;"&gt;'+commentHtml+"&lt;/li&gt;"); $("ul#wall li:first").fadeIn(); }); }); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;div class="message"&gt; &lt;form id="newMessage"&amp;gt;&gt; &lt;input type="text" id="newMessageTxt" height="200px" value="Write a message" onfocus="if(this.value==this.defaultValue) this.value='';" onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value=this.defaultValue;" /&gt; &lt;input type="submit" value="Submit"&gt;&lt;/button&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;ul id="wall"&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/body&gt; </code></pre>
