How do I dynamically change the Jquery mobile slider label in code?

Question

Or is there a way to add units of measure to the slider value?

<label id="sliderLabel" for="slider">example</label>
        <input id="slider" name="slider" type ="range" min ="1000" max="111000" step   ="100" value="55500" data-highlight="true"/>

Answer 1

$('#sliderLabel').text("New Label");
