Unescape HTML entities in Javascript?

Question

I have some Javascript code that communicates with an XML-RPC backend. The XML-RPC returns strings of the form:

Answer 1

Not a direct response to your question, but wouldn't it be better for your RPC to return some structure (be it XML or JSON or whatever) with those image data (urls in your example) inside that structure?

Then you could just parse it in your javascript and build the using javascript itself.

The structure you recieve from RPC could look like:

{"img" : ["myimage.jpg", "myimage2.jpg"]}

I think it's better this way, as injecting a code that comes from external source into your page doesn't look very secure. Imaging someone hijacking your XML-RPC script and putting something you wouldn't want in there (even some javascript...)
