//To do this simply create a element in the DOM tree and 
//set the innerText of the element to your string. 
//Then retrieve the innerHTML of the element. 
//The browser will return an HTML encoded string.

function HtmlEncode(s)
{
  var el = document.createElement("div");
  el.innerText = el.textContent = s;
  s = el.innerHTML;
  return s;
}
