best way to replace content within span id

Asked by GessWurker in JavaScript

Tags: ,

Hi folks. I'm looking for the best way to replace the content within the following:
<span id="QueryScreenControl1_lblPageHeader" class="query_tblheader" style="width:712px;">Some Name: Catalog</span>
so that what displays is only:  Catalog
I've executed the attached code, but need something that will work more broadly. For instance, let's say I've got the following: <span id="QueryScreenControl1_lblPageHeader" class="query_tblheader" style="width:712px;">Some Name: Serials</span>
then I want to end up displaying only:  Serials.
Or suppose I have the following: <span id="QueryScreenControl1_lblPageHeader" class="query_tblheader" style="width:712px;">Some Name: Something Else</span>
then I want to end up with:  Something Else
Perhaps I should use innerHTML.replace and a RegEx? Please advise. Am looking for a good solution that doesn't require multiple "ifs" and "thens"
