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 cachedRegex = /[&"'\<\>]/g;
