Setup

var html = document.body.innerHTML;
  var map = {
    "&": "&amp;",
    "'": "&#39;",
    '"': "&quot;",
    "<": "&lt;",
    ">": "&gt;"
  };
  
  function replaceEntity(chr) {
    return map[chr];
  }
  var tempElement = $(document.createElement("div"));
  String.prototype.replaceAll = function(str1, str2, ignore) {
    return this.replace(new RegExp(str1.replace(/([\/\,\!\\\^\$\{\}\[\]\(\)\.\*\+\?\|\<\>\-\&])/g, "\\$&"), (ignore ? "gi" : "g")), (typeof(str2) == "string") ? str2.replace(/\$/g, "$$$$") : str2);
  };
  String.prototype.htmlEncode = function() {
    return this.replace(/&/g, '&amp;').replace(/"/g, '&quot;').replace(/'/g, '&#39;').replace(/</g, '&lt;').replace(/>/g, '&gt;');
  };
  var re_amp = /&/g;
  var re_squo = /'/g;
  var re_dquo = /"/g;
  var re_lt = /</g;
  var re_gt = />/g;
  
  var DOMtext = document.createTextNode("test");
  var DOMnative = document.createElement("span");
  DOMnative.appendChild(DOMtext);
