One way to unescape HTML entities is to put our escaped text in a text area. This will unescape the text, so we can return the unescaped text afterward by getting the text from the text area. We have an htmlDecode function that takes an input string as a parameter.
This function is identical to htmlspecialchars() in all ways, except with htmlentities(), all characters which have HTML character entity equivalents are translated into these entities. If you're wanting to decode instead (the reverse) you can use html_entity_decode().
Wikipedia has a good expalanation of character encodings and how some characters should be represented in HTML. Load the HTML data to decode from a file, then press the 'Decode' button: Browse: Alternatively, type or paste in the text you want to HTML–decode, then press the 'Decode' button.
HTML character decoding is the opposite process of encoding. The encoded characters are converted back to their original form in the decoding process. It decodes a string that contains HTML numeric character references and returns the decoded string. You can also choose to convert HTML code into JavaScript string.
var text = '<p>name</p><p><span style="font-size:xx-small;">ajde</span></p><p><em>da</em></p>'; var decoded = $('<textarea/>').html(text).text(); alert(decoded); This sets the innerHTML of a new element (not appended to the page), causing jQuery to decode it into HTML, which is then pulled back out with .text().
