How will I sanitize this line? (maybe in jQuery)?

Question

I have a webpage where people enter text in a text box and it displays the text below them. It. On the server side, no.

Say someone is typing <script src="blah">hello</script>

I want to show it as text. Not like a script, of course. How can I do this (all in javascript)?

I want to display all the text. Do not set tags.

Answer 1

 $('div.whatever').text($('input.whatever').val()); 

This converts the objects to HTML objects, so they are displayed in the form in which they were printed, and are not considered markup.

Answer 2

If you want to display it in an element, you can use the text method. It will get rid of all the HTML for you.

You can see an example here .

Answer 3

 <input type="text" onkeyup="$('#outputDiv').text($(this).val());" /> <div id="outputDiv"></div>
