I need a delete function, I have tried all sorts of things and in this instance I have 2 different functions does not do anything. I just left it here for developmental help. The most I am able to do is delete all rows, **and only want to delete rows which have been checked by checkbox and button deletes on click. **

   <script type="text/javascript">
        var counter = 1;
        var limit = 6;
        function addTextArea() {
         if (counter == limit-1) {
         alert("Maximum limit " + counter + " sorry");
         return false;
         }
         else {
         <!-- CAUTION THIS IS BACKWARDS. -->

         var newdiv = document.createElement('div');
         newdiv.innerHTML = "" + (counter + 1) + " <br><textarea name='fav_det[]' id=counter rows='3' cols='20'>";
         document.getElementById('div6').appendChild(newdiv);

         var newdiv = document.createElement('div');
         newdiv.innerHTML = "" + (counter + 1) + " <br><textarea name='fav_col' id=counter rows='3' cols='20'>";
         document.getElementById('div5').appendChild(newdiv);

         var newdiv = document.createElement('div');
         newdiv.innerHTML = "" + (counter + 1) + " <br><textarea name='fav_mod[]' id=counter rows='3' cols='20'>";
         document.getElementById('div4').appendChild(newdiv);

         var newdiv = document.createElement('div');
         newdiv.innerHTML = " " + (counter + 1) + " <br><input type='text' name='truck[]' id=counter>";
         document.getElementById('div3').appendChild(newdiv);

         var newdiv = document.createElement('div');
         newdiv.innerHTML = " " + (counter + 1) + " <br><input type='text' name='car[]' id=counter>";
         document.getElementById('div2').appendChild(newdiv);

         var newdiv = document.createElement('div');
         newdiv.innerHTML = "" + (counter + 1) + " <br><input type='checkbox' name='chk[]' id=counter>";
         document.getElementById('div1').appendChild(newdiv);

         counter++
         return true;
         }
        }

Did you solve your row deletion? As a quick memory test I threw this together:

<table border='1' id='TheTable'>
    <thead><th>..</th><th>Article</th></thead>
</table>
<input type='button' onclick='AddRow()' value='Add Article' />
&nbsp;
<input type='button' onclick='DeleteSelected()' value='Delete Selected' />

and script:

articleCount = 0;
function AddRow()
{
    var tb = document.getElementById('TheTable');
    var tbCount = tb.rows.length;
    var row = tb.insertRow(tbCount);
    var td1 = row.insertCell(0);
    var chk = document.createElement('input');

    articleCount++;
    chk.type = 'checkbox';
    chk.id = 'check_' + articleCount;
    td1.appendChild(chk);
    row.appendChild(td1);
    var td2 = row.insertCell(1);
    var spn = document.createElement('span');
    spn.innerHTML = "Article-" + articleCount;
    td2.appendChild(spn);
}
function DeleteSelected()
{
    var tb = document.getElementById('TheTable');
    var tbCount = tb.rows.length;
    for(var idx = tbCount -1; idx >= 0; idx--)
    {
        var row = tb.rows[idx];
        var chk = row.cells[0].childNodes[0];
        if (chk != null && chk.checked)
            tb.deleteRow(idx);
    }
}
