    Resolved [RESOLVED] How to assign a HTML symbol value to a <span> tag

    I'm trying to execute the following statement:

    HTML Code:
    document.getElementById("s1").innerHTML = &#x25B6;
    I'm getting this error: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token '&'

    The character is a Left Pointing Black Arrow. How do I assign that value?

    Thanks,
    Blake

    Have you tried wrapping the hex with single quote?
    Code:
    document.getElementById("s1").innerHTML = '&#x25B6';
    Works for me.
