I'd like to be able to reach out into the following html structure

 <div id="collection_propID214_formID1">
   <p class="fieldHeaderContainer">
       <strong>Add by ID:</strong>
   </p>
 </div>

And change the text inside of tag, using jQuery. Is this possible?

You could change the text of the strong tags inside the div using .text().

Try this:

$('#collection_propID214_formID1 strong').text('Your text here');

Or

$('#collection_propID214_formID1').find('strong').text('Your text here');

P.S: If there are more than one strong elements, this would change the text for all.
