htmlentities function in javascript [duplicate]

Question

$line=htmlentities(stripslashes($line));

This is the normal PHP statement. Can anyone tell me the Syntax in javascript to perform the above task through javascript??

Generally speaking, you shouldn't need to. Using createTextNode and friends, and avoiding innerHTML largely removes the need to worry about entities in JS. — Quentin

You could possible use JQuery as answered here: stackoverflow.com/questions/1219860/… — Stanley_A

There is a library for this. It has an equivalent to PHP htmlentities function: http://phpjs.org/functions/htmlentities/
