Special Characters and TEXTBOX

[Guest]

I have a text box and I want to let the users insert HTML Tags in the tags.
It does not work and breaks if there are any HTML Tags inside the text.
Is there any way I can enable HTML tags to be part of the input text?

Thanks,

Set the ValidateRequest attribute of the @Page directive to false. To do it
at the application level, set the same attribute to false in the web.config
file.

....
<system.web>
<pages validateRequest="false" />
</system.web>
....

Just make sure you properly HTML-encode/decode the textbox content in the
code-behind.

"It does not work" the characters are stored? they are badly stored? You
get an error?

Assuming you get an error, check out:

ASP.Net 1.1 has a ValidateRequest field, turned on by default, which won't
allow potentially dangerous user input...simply turn it off.
