How to remove the last node of a node array?

Question

I have a dom now which is like

span
span
p
p(to be removed)
p(to be removed)

and everytime a event was triggered, I d like to remove the last two p elements and append 2 more.

There is a node.removeChild method, but I tried, which turned out that the array of p is not the father element of p, but I do not know whether I did it the whole wrong way.

So, how could I remove the last two p nodes in the array of p, so I could clean the space and append two more?

You probably want

el.parentNode.removeChild(el);

The parentNode property will allow you to use removeChild in the way you intended to.

Thanks for the answers, I finally made it myself.

The childNode.remove() method.

for (var index = here is the length you wanna reserve; index < the whole  array length; index++) {
    obj[index].remove();
}

Please don't put slang—like "ROFL" or "thx" or "plz"—in what you write. It's unnecessary. – royhowie Aug 01 '15 at 02:24

declare a counter i, then check if it's between [number of p - 2 .. number of p]

var i = 0;
$("p").each(function(){
    if(i>=$("p").length-2)
         $(this).remove();
    i++;
});
