I have a JavaScript function like this which evaluates text added to a TextBox and it half works.

    function HTMLDecode(t) {
        if (t) return $('<div />').html(t).text();
    }

For instance adding <b>bold text</b> to the textBox will save the text to the database as entered, but will retrieve and display it as bold text, although unformatted. Is there a way to retrieve and display <b>bold text</b>?
