JS question...

Hi guys, I created two unordered list, one display A,B,C and other display D,E,F. I am learning JS, as you can see, I want to change 'A' to 'haha' but it doesn't work. What should I do? I think firstChild and lastChild property seems cannot use to me, but other people use it as well? <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Page Title</title> </head> <body> <header> <ul id='myList1'> <li>A</li> <li>B</li> <li>C</li> </ul> <ul id='myList2'> <li>D</li> <li>E</li> <li>F</li> </ul> <p id='test'></p> </header> <script> var ul1 = document.getElementById('myList1'); var first1 = ul1.firstChild; first1.innerHTML = 'haha'; </script> </body> </html>

js firstchild

Sorry there, I found that the solution is a few page after that. Using replaceChild, because this replace a node by a node, but not replace the content of the node. This also states that DOM is more emphasize on the node but no the content inside them.

You may add an id to the <li> element and then edit the innerHTML property of this element!
