Common Mistakes
⚠️
Mistake: Forgetting to encode special HTML characters in user-generated content
Fix: Always encode &, <, >, ", and ' as HTML entities when displaying user input to prevent XSS attacks and rendering issues.
⚠️
Mistake: Using HTML entities inside <script> or <style> tags where they won't be parsed
Fix: HTML entities are only parsed in HTML context. In JavaScript strings, use escape sequences like \x26 instead of &.
