  • Hi i found a way to unescape html code.Here is the function

    function unescapeHTML(html) {
var tempHtmlNode = document.createElement("tempDiv");
tempHtmlNode.innerHTML = html;
if(tempHtmlNode.innerText)
return tempHtmlNode.innerText; // IE
return tempHtmlNode.textContent; // FF

}

    Thanks for your help anyway
