Question

I work with Google maps. The coordinates of points on a map and description of these points lie in an XML document. Some of the descriptions have html tags. In the derivation of the page – they are displayed as .
I understand that you need to replace < and > do it this function:

String.prototype.replaceAll = function(search, replace) {
 return this.split(search).join(replace);
}

I use this:

 var text = points_array[i]['text'];
 text = text.replaceAll('&lt', "<");
 var text2 = text.replaceAll('&gt;', ">");
 jQuery("#about").text(text2);

As a result, all the same effect it does not. What could be wrong?

Answer 1

you have to use jquery .html() if you want the passed string to be treated as a HTML string otherwise it will always be interpreted as normal string of text
