Does not work.

To remove the p element from the body , start by coding bodyElement , followed by the removeChild() instruction. Then, remove paragraph from bodyElement by coding paragraph between the parentheses.
The <body> element contains all the contents of an HTML document, such as headings, paragraphs, images, hyperlinks, tables, lists, etc. Note: There can only be one <body> element in an HTML document.
You can only replace the HTML's body element with PHP if you are outputting the HTML with PHP (changing it before outputting it). PHP works server-side, so once the HTML reaches the client it cannot modify it.
Child nodes can be removed from a parent with removeChild(), and a node itself can be removed with remove(). Another method to remove all child of a node is to set it's innerHTML=”” property, it is an empty string which produces the same output.
The simple solution would be
document.body.innerHTML = "";
But why on earth would you want to do this?
By the way:
var e = document.getElementsByTag('html');
should be
var e = document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0];
and
e.removeChild('body');
should be
e.removeChild(document.body);
