Reset to default 7

It is likely that the first child node is a text node and not an element node. This is the case, for example, when your HTML looks like this:

<div>
    <div> I'm the first element child</div>
</div>

The line break after the first div and the spaces before the second one are one text node.

To get the element nodes, use children [MDN]:

headDiv.children[0].innerHTML = "Working";

Note: IE6 - IE8 include ment nodes in children as well. As long as you have no ments there, it is fine.

Alternatively you can traverse the child nodes, looking for the first element node:

var child = element.firstChild;
while(child && child.nodeType !== 1) child = child.nextSibling;

Reference: Node.firstChild, Node.nodeType, Node.nextSibling.

If you want to change the value of a text node, you have to change the nodeValue [MDN] property:

node.nodeValue = "Working";
