Dynamically changing the HTML of a div with jQuery is causing HTML encoding to be lost

Question

I have a piece of code which dynamically alters the HTML of a div called \'accordion\' on the fly like so:

// htmlstring contains some HTML containing some HTML          


        

Answer 1

Check this link: HTML-encoding lost when attribute read from input field

you can use the function that Anentropic write.

function htmlEscape(str) {
    return String(str)
            .replace(/&/g, '&')
            .replace(/"/g, '"')
            .replace(/'/g, ''')
            .replace(//g, '>');
}
