Hi There,
If I am getting this right.. you are trying to get the contents of
another file and inject it into an element, but ensuring it shows as
plain text and javascripts are not executed.
Can you try replacing $('#thisDiv').load with a $.get request and do
the following:
$.get('../sample.html', function(data) {
$('#thisDiv').text( data );
});
With this approach, the html entities (<,&,> etc.) will be converted
to their appropriate characters and then injected to $('#thisDiv').
I hope this helps,
Thanks,
Abdullah.
