  I am getting above error when trying to assign below string to HtmlTextBox.
  
  "question 1 (tips: <P><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA" lang=EN-AU><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA" lang=EN-AU>After this is</SPAN></SPAN></P>)"
  
  

  Telerik.Reporting.HtmlTextBox txtBox = new Telerik.Reporting.HtmlTextBox();
txtBox.Value = value;

  In the above code value is equal to above string. How can I solve this error?
  
  Also I want to know how to use StripHTMLTags function. Or if there is any other way to remove HTML tags.
  
  

  HtmlTextBox1.Value = StripHTMLTags(IncomingHTMLText);

  
  Above doesn't work. It gives an error saying that StripHTMLTags  is not found.
  
  Help would be appreciated....

  Hi Rak,
  
  As stated in the help article HtmlTextBox - XHTML Validation you need to provide a valid XHTML for the value of our HtmlTextBox item. What does not comply with this rule in your code is the attribute lang=EN-AU where the value of the attribute is not surrounded in quotation marks. This is the cause of the error you receive: 'EN-AU' is an unexpected token. The expected token is '"' or '''. Line 1, position 228.
  
  The function StripHtmlTags is a built-in function, part of our expression engine, which strips all html tags from its string argument, returning the plain text, the text nodes extracted from the given html.
  
  For example the expresion:
  =StripHtmlTags("Hi <b>John</b>")
  
  will result in the plain text:
  Hi John
  
  Note that the function may be only used as part of an expression, not in your compiled code.
  
  More information and complete reference of all available built-in functions you may find in our help article Developer Reference - Functions.
  
  Kind regards,
  Milen
