How to safely use "&" symbol in a javascript variable without it turning to "&"? – Asp.net

I am trying to execute the following code:

<button onclick="increment()">Increment</button>
<div id="iframe">
<script>
var id = 139000;
var link='<iframe src="https://somewebsite.com/something.aspx?sa=1&pid=' + id + '" height="600px" width="100%" />';
function increment(){
id++;
document.getElementById('iframe').innerHTML = id + link ;
}
</script>
</div>

But while executing, the & in src="" converts to &amp; which breaks the original URL and doesn’t go to the desired destination. I looked up on the internet but as I am a noob, I was not able to figure it out. Please help me to make this work!

    All you need to do is

    <button onclick="increment()">Increment</button>
<div id="iframe">
<script>
var id = 139000;
var link='<iframe src="https://somewebsite.com/something.aspx?sa=1&pid=' + id + 
'" height="600px" width="100%" />';
var new_link = link.replaceAll('&amp;','&');

function increment(){
id++;
document.getElementById('iframe').innerHTML = id + new_link;
}
</script>

    This is definitely a blogger issue, and the reason behind happening is :

    The character "&" is an ISO HTML reserved character used to denote the start of a parameter.

    To overcome this the Blogger editor translate the & you enter to the HTML entity, &amp; , that will display & when the page or URL is rendered in a browser, so that you don’t have to do it yourself.
