javascript: problem with splice method of array object

[bsw2112]

Hello,

I am having problems with the splice method of the array object

with getElementsByTagName, I am returning all img tags within a <div id="container">img, img, etc</div>


imgs = container.getElementsByTagName("img");


then i want to remove an element at some index


imgs.splice(indexToRemove,1);


I get an error saying that

"Object doesn't support this property or method" 

However if i do it to an array strings it works



imgs = ["index1","index2","index3"];
alert("the length of imgs is now" + imgs.length);
imgs.splice(indexToRemove,1);
alert("the length of imgs is now" + imgs.length);


does this mean that splice cannot be used on an array of objects?

thank you

for those who care

getElementsByTagName returns a collection not an array.

that's why using splice wasn't working telling me

"Object doesn't support this property or method"
