Problem using AntiXssEncoder as default encoder

[Mick]

I'm using Telerik ASP.NET AJAX controls (ver. 2010.2.929.40).  When I use the AntiXssEncoder as the default encoder...

    <httpRuntime encoderType="Microsoft.Security.Application.AntiXssEncoder, AntiXssLibrary" />

The links on the radtabstrip controls in our application get rendered with %23 instead of # as the hyperlink....

i.e.
With AntiXssLibrary

<a class="rtsLink rtsAfter" href="%23"> 

Instead of without the AntiXssLibrary...

<a class="rtsLink rtsAfter" href="#">

Clicking on the first link results in a 404 error page.

Is there a solution for this problem?

I actually found a solution to this problem. I wrote it to handle the same issue with Kendo UI (another Telerik product) but the solution is not product specific.

You can find a Gist with the solution here. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.
