You could put the inches into a span like this... <span ID="HeightLabel">inches</span>
then you could change it using.... $("#HeightLabel").text("centimeters"); If you're going to have lots of them on the page then you'll have to use a class name instead of an ID and find some way of selecting just the one you want to change.
