Why is Google Chrome not converting tags/entities?

Question

I keep running into this problem recurring, where Chrome refuses to parse tags/entities on text which is handed to it by JavaScript.

I first noticed it with entities like ". It will display " as opposed to "

Now I am also running into the problem with <strong> and <em>. It displays <strong>Text</strong> as opposed to bolding the text.

I am not having this trouble with any other browser. IE/FF/Safari/Opera all parse and display correctly.

Has anyone else run into this? Is it is bug? Am I doing something wrong? How can I work around it?

Anything would be appreciated. Thank you.

Answer 1

The first part of this problem I resolved by using jQuery's html() as opposed to text(). That fixed the tag parsing issue.

The " entity parsing I am still working on.
