Does any one know how to convert special characters to HTML in Javascript?
Example:
'&' (ampersand) becomes '&'
'"' (double quote) becomes '"' when ENT_NOQUOTES is not set.
''' (single quote) becomes ''' only when ENT_QUOTES is set.
'<' (less than) becomes '<'
'>' (greater than) becomes '>'
Thanks in advance.
You need a function that does something like
return mystring.replace(/&/g, "&").replace(/>/g, ">").replace(/</g, "<").replace(/"/g, """);
But taking into account your desire for different handling of single/double quotes.
