Clear HTML Tags Before Submit

[Trevor]

I've been stuck on this problem for a few hours now.
I need to save the value of a textbox on a form on ASPX Child Page which may contain html markup. The page also contains multiple Formviews bound to different datasources.
When I try and submit I get a "potentially dangerous request" error.  I tried setting ValidateRequest="false" in the page header, but to no avail.
I assume the answer would be to strip the tags from the value before posting back to the server in javascript, but I cannot figure out a way to make the form perform a submit operation.  I tried the page.submit() ; but it did nothing. And when I tried using the form control I get a javascript error stating submit is not a function.





<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">

...

     <asp:FormView ID="TwoWeekForm" runat="server" DataSourceID="TwoWeekDataSource"

        DataKeyNames="ID" >

    <ItemTemplate>

 ...

    </ItemTemplate>

    <EditItemTemplate>

 ...

                <asp:TextBox ID="TwoWeekText" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Extended") %>' TextMode="MultiLine" CssClass="KeyEvent" style="color:Black"></asp:TextBox>

 ...   

    </table>

    </EditItemTemplate>

...  

    </asp:FormView>

 

<telerik:OpenAccessDataSource ID="TwoWeekDataSource" runat="server"
       EnableDelete="False" EnableInsert="False"
       ObjectContextProvider="CNTracker.OpenAccess.EntitiesModel, CNTracker.OpenAccess"
       TypeName="CNTracker.OpenAccess.Interaction"
       Where="this.Project == @Project AND this.Type == 17">
       <WhereParameters>
           <asp:SessionParameter DefaultValue="1" Name="Project"
               SessionField="CurrentProject" />

       </WhereParameters>
   </telerik:OpenAccessDataSource>

Hi Trevor,

 You should add the following entry to your web.config and it should fix the error

<system.web>
     <httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0"/>
</system.web>

Hope this helps. Do get  back in case you need further assistance.

Kind regards,
