How To Replace < with> with > using jquery

Question

I have a page that is part of a backend CRM admin panel. On that page the HTML output comes from some PHP functions that I can\'t access. And that HTML automatically changes

.replace(/&lt;/g, '<').replace(/&gt;/g, '>')

Answer 3

You can do it simply with php

<?php
$a =
 '<div style="font-size: 11px; width: 90%; font-family: Tahoma;" id="cotiz">&lt;strong&gt;Valuación&lt;/strong&gt; de InfoAuto: 35.500,00&lt;br /&gt; 
Cotización Seleccionada: Ninguna&lt;br /&gt; 
Allianz, Responsabilidad Civil: $205,25&lt;br /&gt; 
Allianz, Terceros Completos: $278,85 </div>';

$b = html_entity_decode($a);


echo $b;
?>

Answer 4

The simplest thing to do would be

$('#test').each(function(){
    var $this = $(this);
    var t = $this.text();
    $this.html(t.replace('&lt','<').replace('&gt', '>'));
});
