Fix suggestion:

This fix suggestion was generated by Jit. Please note that the suggestion might not always fit every use case. It is highly recommended that you check and review it before merging.

Suggestion guidelines

This remediation replaces the usage of insecure methods like 'innerHTML', 'outerHTML' or 'document.write' with a safer alternative, 'textContent'. The code will now use 'textContent' to safely set or update the content without putting your application at risk of XSS attacks.

Suggested change
document.getElementById('content').innerHTML = userInput;
document.getElementById('content').textContent = userInput;
