JSON Response Special Character converted to entity code in html

Question

I'm returning a JSON response from the server as

{"title":"St. Patrick's Day"}

On the front end its being converted to a special character as

St Patrick's Day

Does anyone have any idea as to how to convert it back. I'm using full calendar.

Answer 1

The problem with Full Calendar is that it does not insert the code as html code but as val() so we will have to use the eventRender property and insert the title as a html:

eventRender: function(event,element){
  element.find('fc-event title').html(event.title);
}

After this code is written, the values get inserted as html elements and not as apecial chars.
