The Encoder.js file from that page seems to do what you're asking for.

Is it? I think the OP is saying "given the entity, replace it with the character." The linked post is going the other way, from character to entity. Of course, maybe the OP _meant_ to ask the question Kooilnc answered but it doesn't look that way from the way it was phrased. – Ray Toal Aug 04 '11 at 00:08
You're right, 3 AM here misunderstood the question. But still, he can always do the other way around. Just build a for statement which goes throug 0 to whatever is the max entity, and then checks whether the entity matches with the html code. – Shaokan Aug 04 '11 at 00:20
