HTML consists of elements of GIFT (Document Object Model) and not by lines. It is represented by a tree nodes, where a node can be selected and modified via script (e.g., Javascript). Each node has a hierarchical position within the tree. What you need to do is know the position of the element you want to manipulate.
For example, if there are several elements <p>
(paragraph) in HTML, each has an index (index) in the tree (also has a parent element, may have sibling elements and even child elements).
All page elements have a grandfather and a father: <html>
and <body>
,
respectively.
If the element you want to modify has one id
, it is much easier to select it, because a id
is unique on the page and you can go right to him without worrying about his position in the tree.
The example below shows the replacement of a paragraph <p>
by a link <a>
:
function funcao(){
// apagar e substituir o primeiro parágrafo <p>
// por um link <a>
var el = document.querySelectorAll("p")[0]; // seleciono o primeiro <p>
var a = document.createElement("a"); // crio o elemento <a>
var t = document.createTextNode("Novo link"); // crio o texto do <a>
a.appendChild(t) // adiciono o texto no <a>
a.setAttribute("href","pagina.html"); // adiciono href no <a>
el.parentNode.insertBefore(a, el.nextSibling); // insiro o novo elemento <a> após o <p>
el.outerHTML = ''; // apago o <p>
}

What do you mean by line? Could you put an example ?

You want to delete a text/content or you want to delete an HTML element?
