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.
