html decode problem for single quote

[amodg]

Hi,

I'm trying to decode the string

var myName = 'D& #39;Souza.';(Being this a html editor,I have added a space after '&' to avoid decoding as this post renders)
var mydata = Ext.util.Format.htmlDecode(myName);
alert(mydata);

I am still getting the same string. Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Has anybody solved this ? I have the same problem.

htmlDecode only changes <, >, " and &

You will have to replace them yourself using a RegExp or render the text to a hidden element and get the innerHTML.

ps. You can post HTML entities by using the noparse tag, e.g.
&[noparse][/noparse]#39; will display as '

you can put any tag inside like &[B][/B]#39; results in '
