    <p>It's not JavaScript which "unescapes" the characters, but the HTML parser which decodes the entities. It's expected behaviour.</p> <p>If it does not sound logical to you, tell me how you would put a double and a single quote in an attribute.</p> <pre><code>&lt;div tltip=""'"&gt; does not work. &lt;div tltip="&amp;quot;'"&gt; does work. &lt;div tltip='"&amp;#39;'&gt; does work. &lt;div tltip="&amp;quot;&amp;#39;"&gt; does work. </code></pre> <p><em>Regarding the edited question</em><br> You don't have to read the original source code. For instance:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div tltip="&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;test&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;" id="test"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; var output1 = document.getElementById('html'); var output2 = document.getElementById('plain'); var attrValue = document.getElementById('test').getAttribute('tltip'); output1.innerHTML = attrValue; output2.textContent = attrValue; </code></pre> <p>Will render as:</p> <p>Output 1: <b>test</b><br> Output 2: &lt;b&gt;test&lt;/b&gt;</p> <p><code>textContent</code> is not supported in old IE versions. A cross-browser compatible way is:</p> <pre><code>output2[document.textContent === null ? 'textContent' : 'innerText'] = attrValue; // OR output2.innerHTML = ''; // Empty contents output2.appendChild(document.createTextNode(attrValue)); </code></pre> <hr> <p>If you still want to decode the entities, then the following will work:</p> <pre><code>// &lt;b&gt; -&gt; &amp;lt;b&amp;gt; function decode(strHTML) { var tmp = document.createElement('div'); tmp.appendChild(document.createTextNode(strHTML)); return tmp.innerHTML; } </code></pre>

    3. COi see your point. Does this mean its impossible to get html entities in their literal form (&lt; instead of <) from html attributes?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
