Hi guys, I am using FreeTextBox to allow users to format text when they enter
such as making it bold, italic etc. When i hit the submit button, it gives me
an error: potentially unsafe data etc.

Now the only way i can get rid of it is to add entry validateRequest=False
on top of aspx page or add it in web.config file.

Is there any way the problem can be resolved by not adding the entry.
probably quick way of formatting the data before it is submitted to the
server.

Thanks

Manny
 
Hi Manny.
The request validation does not allow html tags.
If you do not want to disable the validation, you can try and convert
html characters, such as > to something else, like >
Sharon.
