How can I delete an existing link (i.e. <A name="linkName" href="xyz.htm"></A>) using javascript?

The short answer is you cant, but what you can do is put the link on a 
layer and change the visibility property to visible/hidden when and 
where required.  
The alternative is to create the link as a variable, write the variable 
to the document as it is loaded, dumping it when the document is 
unloaded. One problem is that you have to replace the variable everytime 
it is loaded with real data, but where do you get that data from. 
Either way, this requires some careful planning and execution, good 
luck.
