Escaping text with jQuery append?
My HTML is somewhat like this:
The createTextNode
approach is probably the best way to go. If you want to have a jQuery-ish syntax, you could make a plugin.
$.fn.appendText = function(text) {
return this.each(function() {
var textNode = document.createTextNode(text);
$(this).append(textNode);
});
};
$.text() accepts also a function as parameter. This function will receive an index and the current text. The return value of the function will be set as the new text.
.text( function )
function
Type:Function( Integer index, String text ) => String
A function returning the text content to set. Receives the index position of the element in the set and the old text value as arguments.
$("li").text(function(idx, txt) {
return txt + " <item>";
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<ul>
<li>1</li>
<li>2</li>
<li>3</li>
</ul>
You can use;
$.extend({
urlEncode: function(value) {
var encodedValue = encodeURIComponent(value);
encodedValue = encodedValue.replace("+", "%2B");
encodedValue = encodedValue.replace("/", "%2F");
return encodedValue;
},
urlDecode: function(value) {
var decodedValue = decodeURIComponent(value);
decodedValue = decodedValue.replace("%2B", "+");
decodedValue = decodedValue.replace("%2F", "/");
return decodedValue;
}
});
to escape HTML characters before you append to the DOM.
Use it like; $.urlEncode(value)
Using it; $('#selector').append($.urlEncode(text));
Update #1
You could this $('#selector').html($('#selector').html() + text);
I suspected this was what you wanted.
