This property is used to dynamically insert HTML into the UI.  Unfortunately, 
it is easily abused because it accepts input such as <SCRIPT> tags.

There are about 150 instances of the .html() method in our UI.  It turns out 
that in the vast majority of the uses are for text; in those cases the .text() 
method provides a safe replacement for .html().

For those instances where HTML is needed it is safer to use a sequence of calls 
to createElement(), appendChild(), and setAttribute() to construct and insert 
the new element into the DOM.
