HTML displaying text using variable

Question

I am creating a checkbox in HTML like this:

<input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Bike" /> I have a bike<br />

Now, I want I have a bike part i.e. the text that comes besides a checkbox to come from a variable. How can this be done?

From what kind of variable? Server-side? Client-side?

<input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Bike" id="vehicle" />
<label for="vehicle" id="lblVehicle"></label><br />
<script>
var lblBike = 'I have a bike';
document.getElementById('lblVehicle').innerHTML = lblBike;
</script>
