 * On this page I want the button text to read “Select Quantity”

 * I am trying to do this with CSS instead of editing the PHP file. Is that possible
   and if so, how?

 * Hello!
 * Changing that may be possible with CSS. Using pseudo selectors like `:after` 
   or `:before` you may be able to use the `content` CSS properties. Using your 
   developer tools you can find the needed elements. If you don’t know how to access
   your browser’s developer tools you can check out:

 * Though, I do have to ask the question of why you don’t want to edit the PHP files?
   If a screen-reader is being used it won’t match what is being shown.
