How to encode or decode HTML in jQuery

In this post, I’ll show you how you can encode or decode (if you ever need to do so) supplied HTML using jQuery.

This is quite easy just create two separate method for encoding and decoding as given below. 
function encodeHTML(text) {
    if (text) {
        return jQuery('<div />').text(text).html();
    } else {
        return '';
    }
}

function decodeHTML(text) {
    if (text) {
        return $('<div />').html(text).text();
    } else {
        return '';
    }
}

Test the both method to encode or decode HTML. 
$(function () {
    //pass the html to encode. 
    alert(encodeHTML('You & me are good friends'));

    //pass the html to decode. 
    alert(decodeHTML('You &amp; me are good friends'));
});

C#: Merging Excel cells with NPOI HSSFWorkbook

In this post we’ll see how to merge the two or more cell with each other while creating the excel sheet using NPOI . Mentioned below is code to merge multiple cells, in this example we are merging first cell to fifth cell of first row (you can adjust row or cell range by passing particular parameters in CellRangeAddress). //Created new Workbook var hwb = new NPOI.HSSF.UserModel. HSSFWorkbook (); //Create worksheet with name. var sheet = hwb.CreateSheet( "new sheet" ); //Create row and cell. var row = sheet.CreateRow(0); var cell = row.CreateCell(0); ; //Set text inside cell cell.SetCellValue( "This is Merged cell" ); cell.CellStyle.WrapText = true ; //define cell range address // parameters: -> first row to last and first cell to last cell var cra = new NPOI.SS.Util. CellRangeAddress (0, 0, 0, 4); //Add merged region to sheet. sheet.AddMergedRegion(cra); Hope this solution helps you J
