Hi, 
 
I am trying to dynamically remove some points from a VML Polyline element but can't see any way to go about doing this. 
 
When I reference the points attribute of the line element, I find that it is a collection, so I'm able to and points to the element by simply doing: 
 
document.all.line1.points.add(document.all.line1.points.length); 
document.all.line1.points(document.all.line1.points.length - 1) = '40 40'; 
 
So now I will have a VML Polyline like: 
 
&lt;V:POLYLINE id=&quot;line1&quot; onclick=&quot;&quot; name=&quot;line1&quot; style=&quot;POSITION: absolute;&quot; coordsize=&quot;0,0&quot; points=&quot;0 0 10 10 30 30 40 40&quot; strokecolor=&quot;black&quot; strokeweight=&quot;1pt&quot; /&gt;&lt;/V:POLYLINE&gt; 
 
But I can see any way of removing any of the points, all I can do is add to the collection. 
 
Cheers,
