Empty lines will be considered as text child node. arr[0] is text node arr[1] is img tag arr[2] is again text node arr[3] is p tag (this is what you want to edit)

Why don't use a query selector like document.querySelector("#header p").innerHTML = "New Name" and save some headache.

childNodes is a NodeList of all nodes in a element (including text nodes) <div> Hello <p id="p">world</p> </div> Contains 3 childNodes - TextNode - " Hello" - HTMLParagraphElement - #p - TextNode - "" Solution 👇 Change a.childNodes to a.children
