title: How to embed utf8 encoded html into element
body: <p>I have a UTF-8 encoded string that contains html markup. I am not able to successfully embed that html into a div using jquery - it always ends up rendering as a string.  I am restricted to v 1.7.2 so cant look at parseHTML function.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div id="target"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;script&gt;
  var tgt = $('#target');
  
  tgt.html(resultingCode());
  
  
  function resultingCode(){
      return '%3Ctable%20width%3D%22650%22%20class%3D%22deviceWidth%22%20border%3D%220%22%20cellpadding%3D%220%22%20cellspacing%3D%220%22%20align%3D%22center%22%20bgcolor%3D%22%23eeeeed%22%3E%20%3Ctr%3E%20%3Ctd%20valign%3D%22top%22%20style%3D%22padding%3A0%22%20bgcolor%3D%22%23ffffff%22%3E%20%3Cp%20style%3D%22mso-table-lspace%3A0%3Bmso-table-rspace%3A0%3B%20padding%3A0px%3B%20margin%3A0%3B%22%3E%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22%23%22%3E%3Cimg%20src%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fplacehold.it%2F650x350%26text%3DFULL%22%20alt%3D%22%22%20border%3D%220%22%20style%3D%22display%3A%20block%3B%20width%3A100%25%3B%20height%3Aauto%3B%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fa%3E%20%3C%2Fp%3E%20%3C%2Ftd%3E%20%3C%2Ftr%3E%20%3C%2Ftable%3E';
