HTML Entity Decode [duplicate]

Answer 1

I know I'm a bit late to the game, but I thought I might provide the following snippet as an example of how I decode HTML entities using jQuery:

var varTitleE = "Chris' corner";
var varTitleD = $("
").html(varTitleE).text();

console.log(varTitleE + " vs. " + varTitleD);​​​​​​​​​​​

Don't forget to fire-up your inspector/firebug to see the console results -- or simply replace console.log(...) w/alert(...)

That said, here's what my console via the Google Chrome inspector read:

Chris' corner vs. Chris' corner
