Is there a way to convert HTML into normal text without actually write it to a selector with Jquery?

No, the html method doesn't turn HTML code into text, it turns HTML code into DOM elements. The browser will parse the HTML code and create elements from it.

You don't have to put the HTML code into the page to have it parsed into elements, you can do that in an independent element:

var d = $('<div>').html(result);

Now you have a jQuery object that contains a div element that has the elements from the parsed HTML code as children. Or:

var d = $(result);

Now you have a jQuery object that contains the elements from the parsed HTML code.

Here is no-jQuery solution:

function htmlToText(html) {
    var temp = document.createElement('div');
    temp.innerHTML = html;
    return temp.textContent; // Or return temp.innerText if you need to return only visible text. It's slower.
}

Works great in IE ≥9.

You could simply strip all HTML tags:

var text = html.replace(/(<([^>]+)>)/g, "");
