Is there a built-in jQuery function for encoding a string as HTML?
I'm trying to take the text a user types into a text box and then put that text into a different area of the page. My plan was to take the .val()
from the text box and supply that to the .html()
of the <div>
element. Perhaps there's a good jQuery plugin to help with this (if it's not built-in) or a better way overall to accomplish this goal.
For example, if the user puts <Victory!>
in the text box, I'd want the other part of the page to actually show the text <Victory!>
instead of nothing being visible.
