[jdom-interest] Reinitialisation

[Gareth Hughes]

Thanks for the help.... 

Couldn't get it to work at first but amended to the following and its
working fine now.

List content = element.getParent().getContent();
for(int i=0;i<content.size();i++){
	Object o = content.get(i);
	if(o instanceof Element){
		Element el = (Element)o;
		if(el == element){ // element - Element to be removed
			int index = content.indexOf(el);
			content.remove(index);
			if (index > 0
				&& content.get(index - 1) instanceof Text
				&& ((Text) content.get(index -
1)).getTextTrim().length() == 0) {
	
content.remove(index - 1);
			}
		}
	}
}

Any thoughts or comments appreciated.
Cheers..

Help is on the way:

    /*
     * Remove an element and any immediatley preceding whitespace
     */
    Element e = ....
    List content = e.getParent().getContent();
    int index = content.indexOf(e);
    content.remove(index);
    if (index > 0
         && content.get(index - 1) instanceof Text
         && ((Text) content.get(index - 1)).getTextTrim().length() == 0) {
       content.remove(index - 1);
    }
