var text = '&lt;p&gt;name&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=font-size:xx-small;&gt;ajde&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;da&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;';

var decoded = $('<textarea/>').html(text).text();

alert(decoded);

This sets the innerHTML of a new element (not appended to the page), causing jQuery to decode it into HTML, which is then pulled back out with .text().
