The LIs you see in Firebug are you the ones you appended at the end of
your script:
$('#u2').append($lis);
The childNodes property is a live collection, it updates as you change
the DOM. Remove the line I mentioned and you'll see the LIs are being
removed correctly, or try appending more items to the list and you'll
see childNodes updating accordingly.
