Simple function for HTML-encoding characters (i.e. transforming characters such as <, > and & into HTML entities):
function htmlspecialchars(s)
{
var temp = document.createElement('div');
temp.appendChild(document.createTextNode(s));
return temp.innerHTML;
}
Inspired by the PHP function of the same name.
