Is it possible to insert unencoded text to an Element?

[zhenyi]

For example, if I try to do this:

scriptElement.html("if (a && b) { doThings(); }")

I will get:

<script>
if (a &amp;&amp; b) { doThings(); }
</script>

Instead of:

<script>
if (a && b) { doThings(); }
</script>

How do I set the innerHTML of an Element without encoding the content?
