You do indeed...... or do you?

Yup, you probably could...

> But how can I do it with a Java script?

Don't forget that php can be "slotted into" your html (and presumably
therefore your js code). Could you not use;

(javascript stuff...)

var content = "<? php echo(html_entity_decode($stringFullOfHtmlEntities))
?>";

(...more javascript stuff....)

Just a thought straight off the top of my head, no idea if it will even
work!

Hope that helps,
