How to eat HTML tags?

Is there any function that converts

<a href="test.php"/>

to 

&lt; href=&quot;test.php&quot;/&gt;

It would be helpful if all html characters were converted in the similar manner.

Is there a function or library to do this?

var eaten:String = myString.replace(/&/g,'&amp;').
                            replace(/</g,'&lt;').
                            replace(/>/g,'&gt;').
                            replace(/"/g,'&quot;');

It sounds like encodeURIComponent may be what you're after:
