Could do it like this:
$('#myElement:not(input)').text(s);
$('#myElement:input').val(s);
So you could have a function like:
function setElement(id, s) {
$('#'+id+':not(input)').text(s);
$('#'+id+':input').val(s);
};
So that whenever you set an element you can call:
setElement('someElementId', 'This is my string!');
