Hello

i followed this snippet http://bytes.com/topic/javascript/answers/504399-get-all-text-nodes

 var xPathResult = document.evaluate(
 './/text()[normalize-space(.) != ""]',
 document.body, null,
 XPathResult.ORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE,
 null ); for (var i = 0, l = xPathResult.snapshotLength; i < l; i++) { 
 var textNode = xPathResult.snapshotItem(i);
 textNode.data = textNode.data.replace(/somePattern/g, 'replacement');
 }

i want to replace certain patterns like for example |12| with a corresponding emoticon ! but when i do textNode.data.replace("|12|",'<.img src="favicon.ico"/>'); for example the text show is ..<.img src="favicon.ico"/>.. as i inspect the html i find that <.img src="favicon.ico"/> became escaped to <img src="favicon.ico"/> is it possible to prevent this and to let the image show ?? Thank You

Note: added extra point here <.img src="favicon.ico"/> in purpose
