I’m populating an array using the push method. I would like the user to be able to select from 1 of 5 different XML docs… these load info into the array. But when the user selects anew, I dont know how to destroy the array so that I can re-populate it.

Also, is there a way to destroy an XML object?

Any suggestions?
