Replace certain character JavaScript

To replace certain characters in javascript:

In this example, i'm replacing '&' with '&amp;' in the entire string.


function formatTexts(linkText) {
    var patt1 = /&/g;
    var patt1replStr = "&amp;";

    var matchPatt = linkText.match(patt1);

    var pattformat = /&amp;/g;
    var matchformatted = "";
    if (matchPatt != null && matchPatt.length > 0) {
        while (matchformatted.length < matchPatt.length) {
            linkText = linkText.replace(linkText.match(patt1)[0], patt1replStr);
            matchformatted = linkText.match(pattformat);
        }
    }
    return linkText;
}

HtmlEncoding in Javascript

Often when executing fetchxml in javascript or when creating tables throught javascript, you would face the error because the values are not htmlencoded.


function htmlEncode(value) {
    return $('<div/>').text(value).html();
}
function htmlDecode(value) {
    return $('<div/>').html(value).text();
}


This encodes the default characters that have to be encoded.
