add character entity from numerical identifier to input value
<p>Im trying to add a couple of character entities to the value for the input.
I can only seem add these character entities when im adding as inline say to the event handler.</p>

<p>Works inline to input</p>

<pre><code>value="enter name &amp;#150;&amp;gt;" onfocus="if(this.value=='enter name &amp;#150;&amp;gt;'){this.value=''}; 
</code></pre>

<p>Dose not work as i was liking say being called form a function
it displays " &amp;&#35;150;&#38gt;"</p>

<pre><code>if(ds.value==''){
    ds.value='enter name &amp;#150;&amp;gt;';
    }
</code></pre>
