I have a little snippet of code that is throwing an error in Firefox, but functioning fine in IE. Basically, it's a rating system. Once a user rates the item, the rating area needs to be removed. IE does this, but in Firefox I get the following error: <br />
<br />
<br />
[Exception... &quot;Component returned failure code: 0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER)<wbr /> [nsIDOMHTMLDivElement.remo<wbr />veChild]&quot; &nbsp;nsresult: &quot;0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER)<wbr />&quot; &nbsp;location: &quot;JS frame :: :: jsUpdateHTML :: line 31&quot; &nbsp;data: no] <br />

Can't seem to figure out what is throwing this in FF. &nbsp;<br />

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.

Web Browsers

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.
