clearing out a JehanNYNJ 05-03-2005

I need to clear out the HTML contents of a <span> element and then
re-add that element as a blank span.

Here is the code...

var elem = document.getElementById(spanId);

var deletedElem = elem.parentNode.removeChild(elem);
deletedElem.innerHTML = '<span id="'+spanId+'"></span>';
deletedElem.parentNode.appendChild(deletedElem);

This does not work. When I try to getElementById the second time the
function is called it does not find the span I added. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Javascript questions (if the above is Javascript) are better
directed to a Javascript group. This is
