Title
Body
I’m using JavaScript to pull a value out from a hidden field and display it in a textbox. The value in the hidden field is encoded. For example, <input id='hiddenId' type='hidden' value='chalk & cheese' /> gets pulled into <input type='text' value='chalk & cheese' /> via some jQuery to get the value from the hidden field (it’s at this point that I lose the encoding): $('#hiddenId').attr('value') The problem is that when I read chalk & cheese from the hidden field, JavaScript seems to lose the encoding. I do not want the value to be chalk & cheese . I want the literal amp; to be retained. Is there a JavaScript library or a jQuery method that will HTML-encode a string?
