Convert HTML Entities: why is my solution Wrong?

JavaScript
1

I used the following solution:

function convertHTML(str) {
  var p = document.createElement("p");
  p.textContent = str;
  var converted = p.innerHTML;
  return converted;
}

convertHTML("Dolce & Gabbana");

No test cases are passed, i check in the console and everything is going good.

You’re misunderstanding what the challenge is and what an HTML entity is. Reread the description: as with all the algorithm questions, this is just asking you to write plain JavaScript. What you’ve written isn’t plain JS (it will only even run as intended in a browser when attached to an HTML page). It is asking to to write a function that takes a string and returns a different string.
