This code should make an element disappear from a list when it is dropped on another element (called cookiemonster)

addEvent(cookiemonster, 'drop', function (e) {

  if (e.stopPropagation) e.stopPropagation();



  var el = document.getElementById(e.dataTransfer.getData('text'));

  el.parentNode.removeChild(el);

  return false;

});

create an auxiliar variable like this

addEvent(cookiemonster, 'drop', function (e) {

    if (e.stopPropagation) e.stopPropagation();



    var el = document.getElementById(e.dataTransfer.getData('text'));

    var aux = el.parentNode;

    aux.removeChild(el);

    return false;

});
