There are a lot of ways to do this. You could include this text in a
span. However, I think the cleaner way to do it is to just append a
text node with "Thank you for submitting a quote for " after you
remove the text node as I demonstrated in my example. Otherwise you
are including markup for a functional purpose, and purists might beat
you with a trout.
