note 63785 added to function.htmlentities

If you're programming multilingual systems, and have
encountered the grief of using javascript 'alert()' to
find that it doesn't properly display htmlentities,
there's a work around that allows you to leave your strings
clean.

<script>
var str = '&agrave;';

//Produces '&agrave;'
alert(str);

o=document.createElement("span"); o.innerHTML=t;
o.firstChild.data;

//Produces 'à'  [an accented a]
alert(o.firstChild.data);

</script>
