<p>Click the button to replace the first item in the the list.</p>
<button onclick="myFunction()">Try it</button>
<p>First create a new Text node called Water.<br>Then replace the first child node of the first list item, with the newly created text node.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> This example replaces only the Text node "Coffee" with a Text node "Water", not the entire LI element, which would also be an alternative when replacing nodes.</p>

function myFunction() {
  var textnode = document.createTextNode("Water");
  var item = document.getElementById("myList").childNodes[0];
  item.replaceChild(textnode, item.childNodes[0]);
