Today, I have to use something like this: window.HTMLSelectElement && function(HTMLSelectElementPrototype) { var removeOption = HTMLSelectElementPrototype.remove; HTMLSelectElementPrototype.remove = function() { if (arguments[0] >= 0) removeOption.call(this, arguments[0]); else this.parentNode && this.parentNode.removeChild(this); }; }(window.HTMLSelectElement.prototype); It would be better to change HTMLSelectElement Interface so that without arguments it used remove method like Element Interface. 94023 1 eoconnor 2013-09-30 18:15:29 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
