Display HTML special characters stored in JavaScript string

Question

I need to dynamically append a text to a <div> with JavaScript. This text is retrieved from a database and it also contains special character as ü or '. Now i'm using the createTextNode() but the HTML special characters like &xxxx; aren't "resolved" then the output isn't correct.

Is there any method to print out the text with special character displayed correctly?

Thanks for any reply

Answer 1

I think it will do exactly what you want if you use innerHTML instead of createTextNode().
