I have found posts that suggest a solution to how to remove an element: first, getElementById(), then use .remove() method.

Suppose I have many elements that belong to a class className. I have to do a for loop to get each id in order to remove them all. Is there a faster way to apply remove() on a className? I have tried the below code and it does not work (i.e. all the elements do not get deleted).

let elementGrp = document.getElementsByClassName('my-class-name');
elementGrp.remove();

No, you'll have to remove each element in the collection individually. `.remove()` can only be called on elements, not collections. – CertainPerformance Nov 28 '20 at 19:36
@CertainPerformance Thanks for confirming. Closing this then. – Tristan Tran Nov 28 '20 at 19:37
