Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type.

Anyone know how to remove single and double quote from this data or some solution. Thanks

Answer 1

You can create a temporary element and read it's .textContent property:

var d = document.createElement('div');
d.innerHTML = htmlContent;
var textContent = d.textContent || d.innerText;

If you can use jQuery:

var textContent = $('<div/>').html(htmlContent).text();
