Customizing SharePoint Server 2010 Survey “Fill-in” Question

Question

I am working with a SharePoint Server 2010 survey that contains some questions about allow fill-in responses. Is there a simple way to change the wording of these fill-in questions? Instead of "Specify your own value," I would like them to say something along the lines as "Other" (per project sponsor request).

I found this in regards to the WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007 customization:

However, it seems to me that there should be an easier way to change the wording of this question without having to edit the default master page.

Answer 1

This is one of those cases were I like to use jQuery to modify the rendered html without any impact to the MasterPage or centralized templates. It should only take a simple selector to identify the container, and swap out the "Other" content with the desired label.
