Embedding HTML tags in XML

Hi there everyone. I am new to XML, and creating a web app for an academic project using Javascript and XML. A part of the project is to have HTML captioning with Quicktime video. An editor is to generate the XML data, and then Javascript handles the rest.

I am reading in an external XML file on the page load, and then turning the data into Javascript objects. One of the elements that I am reading is for a transcript, which may be displayed anywhere on the HTML page, and may contain HTML tags.

For example I can have multiple transcripts.



Then with Javascript I read in the text for the transcript elements into an array.

When i display the text somewhere.



I get the whole text string, unrendered in HTML.
"This is some <b>bold</b> text"

I tried playing with an XSL template and creating an HTML namespace with no luck, but I don't think that is a solution since i am reading the XML into Javascript first, and then displaying the data in a regular HTML page.

If anyone has any suggestions or can point a finger in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Ok, sorry.. THis question was more of a javascript question than XML.

I made a glaring mistake, which is that i used innerText rather than innerHTML.

CDATA works fine

thanks for reading
