Removing all childs from box

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi. Im trying to remove all childs from box (just want to clean drawing field)

var grs = document.getElementById('graphRightSide');
if ( grs.hasChildNodes() )
{
    while ( grs.childNodes.length >= 1 )
    {
        console.log(grs.firstChild);
        svgweb.removeChild(grs.firstChild, grs);
    }
}

Log says that nothing is deleting - I got infinite loop. What Im doing
wrong? And if my actions are wrong, then why there is no error or exception?
Thanks, Vitaly.

Found a solution:

var grs = document.getElementById('graphRightSide');
if ( grs.hasChildNodes() )
{
    while (grs.childNodes.length > 0)
    {
        grs.removeChild(grs.firstChild);
    }
}

As I found in sources, svgweb.removeChild works only for OBJECT, EMBED and SVG 
elements.
Can you confirm, that I not getting a memory leak or smthg by using this code?
