requestValidation and HTML

[stevet26]

Hi

Does anyone have any tips for saving HTML code, generated by a rich text editor, to an SQL server database without turning requestValidation off?

I would prefer not to have to to turn requestValidation off as it is only one control out of thirteen that I will be expecting html code to be entered into it.

Thanking you in advance

You shouldn't have a problem saving HTML code (it should only be a problem if the HTML code contains potentially unsafe scripts). See this article for more info:

Unfortunatly, I do have a probelm svaing HTML. The error picks up the <br/> tag as unsafe.

Sorry, I meant that you shouldn't have a problem saving HTML code if you disable requestValidation and then use Server.HtmlEncode to encode the posted data.
