How to decode HTML entities using jQuery?

I want to convert this text:

"<p>name</p><p><span style="font-size:xx-small;">ajde</span></p><p><em>da</em></p>"

to html, with tags and everything in Javascript or Jquery. How to do this?

There is a jQuery solution in this thread. Try something like this:

var decoded = $("<div/>").html('your string').text();

This sets the innerHTML of a new <div> element (not appended to the page), causing jQuery to decode it into HTML, which is then pulled back out with .text().

Using jQuery the easiest will be:

var text = '<p>name</p><p><span style="font-size:xx-small;">ajde</span></p><p><em>da</em></p>';

var output = $("<div />").html(text).text();
console.log(output);

$('#your_id').html('<p>name</p><p><span style="font-size:xx-small;">ajde</span></p><p><em>da</em></p>').text();
