problem with removing node

[kesava chaitanya]

hi

i have written program to remove node of indianplayer with attribute value =9;but its going to the if statement but unable to remove the particular node;whats wrong with the code;i am using DOM parser;

NodeList indianplayers = root.getElementsByTagName("IndianPlayer");


for(int i=0;i<indianplayers.getLength();i++)
{

Element el=(Element) indianplayers.item(i);


String playerid1 =el.getAttribute("PlayerId");
int playeridd=Integer.parseInt(playerid1);
if(playeridd == Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("playerid")))
{
root.removeChild(indianplayers.item(i));
}

}

<IndianPlayer PlayerId="1">
<Name>Sachin</Name>
<Age>31</Age>
</IndianPlayer>
<IndianPlayer PlayerId="2">
<Name>Saurav</Name>

How do you figure that the node is not being removed? If the Node you pass to root.removeChild(childNodeToRemove) is not a child of the context Node, you'd get a DOMException saying that 'childNodeToRemove' is not a child of 'root'.
