Putting Javascript variables into html values

I am using Backbone.js and I am looking for something to turn my data into hidden elements on a form to submit and also to turn the data into values on textboxes.

I want something "battle hardened" that handles all special characters on String data and also handles numbers correctly.

Does anyone have anything like that?

To ensure that you can write out special characters, you can use .escape which is a wrapper for underscore to write values to the hidden fields. It'll convert your special characters to HTML entities. It's also useful for preventing XSS attacks. Or you can use $().text() and that will escape everything.
