The pageContent attribute retains a fragment of certain page content in html. That content in "unescaped" form reads like this.

That's the meaning of it. It looks like the application is using this attribute to convey a html fragment for rendering use at the client. (It may not be a mess-up, or it may.)

When people use pageContent's value, they have to [1] unescape() (such as a javascript function) it and [2] insert it as into a html page at the appropriate place using dom method such as object.insertAdjacentHTML method where the "object" is the html page element, such as body element.

What tsuji is trying to say is that the string has been URLEncoded. To reverse the process, you just need to URLDecode it. Go to

for demos and more info.
