Fixing hex character codes

When in javascript I say:

document.getElementById("file").innerHTML="<div align=center><table border cellpadding=5><tr><th>Genres</th><th>Files</th></tr><tr><td><a href='browse.html?folder=screensavers
>Screen Savers
</a></td><td>2</td></tr><tr><td><a href='browse.html?folder=apps
>Applications
</a></td><td>0</td></tr></table></div>";

and then I say

window.alert(document.getElementById("file"));

It results with

<div align="center"><table border="1" cellpadding="5"><tbody><tr><th>Genres</th><th>Files</th></tr><tr><td><a href="browse.html?folder=screensavers%0D%3EScreen%20Savers%0D%3C/a%3E%3C/td%3E%3Ctd%3E2%3C/td%3E%3C/tr%3E%3Ctr%3E%3Ctd%3E%3Ca%20href=" browse.html?folder="apps">Applications
</a></td><td>0</td></tr></tbody></table></div>

How do I get it to say characters rather than there Hex codes

Try putting it all on one line and adding the single quote mark:
