JavaScript array remove an element

As in the previous section of JavaScript array tutorials we have discussed that we can create a user defined function in JavaScript which will remove an array element by the provided index, now we will show you that how a user can remove an array element by providing the element's value.

In this example we have created a function removeByElement() which takes array object name and one array element's value which is to be removed and eliminates the specified array elements value. Here is the function definition as :

function removeByElement(arrayName,arrayElement)
{
for(var i=0; i<arrayName.length;i++ )
{
if(arrayName[i]==arrayElement)
arrayName.splice(i,1);
}
}

Above lines of code defines the function for removing elements according to the value and for this purpose we have used splice() method. Here is the example code:

<html>
<head>

<script type="text/javascript">
   var arr = new Array(5);
   arr[0]="Rose";
   arr[1]="India";
   arr[2]="Technologies";
   arr[3]="Pvt";
   arr[4]="Ltd";
function removeByElement(arrayName,arrayElement)
{
for(var i=0; i<arrayName.length;i++ )
   {
if(arrayName[i]==arrayElement)
arrayName.splice(i,1);
}
}
document.writeln("Array before calling removeByElement() method is =<b>"+arr+"</b></br>");
removeByElement(arr,"India");
document.writeln("Array after calling removeByElement() method is =<b>"+arr+"</b></br>");
</script>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ddcdff">

</html>

After running this HTML code on the browser we will get the following output:
