You can use removeChild, it works in most browsers.

The function removeNode() seems to be a Microsoft proprietary function, so probably only supported in Internet Explorer (IE).

Since the latest browsers are typically chromium-based (such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge "Wave" v79+) I replaced it with remove() and it seemed to fix the issue:

document.getElementById(id).remove();
