htmlentities function in javascript

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, Mar 06 '13 at 17:18
You could possible use JQuery as answered here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1219860/javascript-jquery-html-encoding — Stanley_A, Mar 06 '13 at 17:28
