This function uses native DOM element creation functions to convert the HTML string into a collection of DOM elements, which you can then insert into the document. 2. If the context parameter is not specified, or is null or undefined, it defaults to the current document. If the created DOM elements are intended for another document (e.g., an iframe), you should specify that iframe's document object. **Security Considerations:** Most jQuery APIs allow HTML strings to contain scripts that run in the HTML. jQuery.parseHTML() will not run scripts within the parsed HTML unless you explicitly set the keepScripts parameter to true. However, most environments can still execute scripts indirectly, for example, via the attribute. Callers should avoid this and sanitize or escape any untrusted input from sources like URLs, cookies, etc., to prevent this. For future compatibility, when the keepScripts parameter is omitted or false, callers should not rely on the ability to run any script content. * * * ## Syntax _$_.parseHTML( htmlString [, context ] [, keepScripts ] ) | Parameter | Description | | :--- | :--- | | _htmlString_ | String type.
