Common Mistakes to Avoid

⚠️

Double-encoding content

Solution: Don't encode already-encoded text. &amp; becomes &amp;amp; which displays as "&amp;" instead of "&".

⚠️

Not encoding user input

Solution: ALWAYS encode user-generated content before displaying in HTML. Missing this causes XSS vulnerabilities.

⚠️

Using in JavaScript strings

Solution: HTML entities work in HTML, not JavaScript. Use JavaScript escaping (\) for strings in <script> tags.
