removing all children from an XML node

[xargon]

Hi everyone,

I am using VBA for MS office. I would like to know how I can delete all
children of a node. The method should not fail if the node has no
children.

So, basically I have:

Dim xmlParser as Object
Set xmlParser = CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument")
xmlParser.LoadXML (documentXMLData)
Dim serializedElment as Object
Set serializedElement =
xmlParser.ChildNodes(0).selectSingleNode("SerializedData")

Now I want to delete all children (if any) of the serializedElement node.

How can I do this?

Thanx!

Hi Xargon,

Give us some sample data so that we can see what we're dealing with,
please?
