Converting HTML special characters to its equivalent HTML Entity

Here we will see how to convert the HTML text to its equivalent entity. Sometime we come across a situation where we wish to show the content of inner HTML of some specified element for viewing or debugging purpose. I tried to write a code for the conversion. Here is code and its usage:


function convertToHTMLEntity(html){
 var textNode = document.createTextNode(html);
 var divElement = document.createElement('div');
 divElement.appendChild(textNode);

Conversion between Date String and Timestamp using Angularjs Directive

Let me ask you one question. Can a veiwValue and modelValue have same value into a different format? The answer is YES . Here we will see how it can be possible. We will see it through a simple example that converts date string (viewValue) into timestamp (modelValue). We will use a text box to enter a date string (dd/mm/yyyy) and convert it into timestamp that will be stored into model value. The trick is that we will use $parsers to convert the date string into the timestamp and $formatters to change the timestamp stored in modelValue to date string that will be shown on text input. Let's see the codes first: HTML Code: <h4>Date to Timestamp</h4> <div class="form-group"> <label for="date1" class="col-sm-3 control-label">Date1 VeiwValue:</label> <div class="col-sm-3"> <input type="text" id="date1" class="form-control" name="date1" ng-model="ob...
