Decode html tag so that it can be read when it goes back to the server more specifically the controller
- by Yusuf
My engine is Aspx.
How can I decode/encode the html tags that is in my text box.
I have the html tag to make it more readable.
I tried the ValidationRequest and the htmlDecode(freqQuestion.Answer) but no luck.
I just keep getting the same message.
Server Error in '/Administrator' Application.
A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the
client (QuestionAnswer="...ics Phone:123-456-7890
Description: Request Validation has detected a potentially dangerous
client input value, and processing of the request has been aborted.
This value may indicate an attempt to compromise the security of your
application, such as a cross-site scripting attack. To allow pages to
override application request validation settings, set the
requestValidationMode attribute in the httpRuntime configuration
section to requestValidationMode="2.0". Example: . After setting this value, you can then
disable request validation by setting validateRequest="false" in the
Page directive or in the configuration section. However, it is
strongly recommended that your application explicitly check all inputs
in this case. For more information, see
