Encoding the Html on the client

[sitefinitysteve]

I want to send editor html content up to a webservice, but the content is mangling my request

Can I encode it somehow in the editor?...

Hi Steve,

The content obtained from RadEditor on the server is a simple string which you can easily modify using the server-side String.Replace method.
For example to replace the &lt; entity with the < symbols use

string content = Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.ContentEncoder.Decode(Request["RadEditor1"]);
content = content.Replace("&lt;","<");
content = content.Replace("&gt;",">");
content = content.Replace("&amp;","&");

You can also use the code below to encode the special tags and symbols in HTML content:

internal class ContentEncoder

{

static ContentEncoder()

{

_characters = new char[] {'%', '<', '>', '!', '"', '#', '$', '&', '\'', '(', ')', ',', ':',

';', '=', '?', '[', '\\', ']', '^', '`', '{', '|', '}', '~', '+'};

_characterBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(_characters);

}

private static char[] _characters;

private static byte[] _characterBytes;

public static string Encode(string text)

{

for (int i=0; i<_characterBytes.Length; i++)

{

text = text.Replace(_characters[i].ToString(), "%" + _characterBytes[i].ToString("x"));

}

return text;

}

public static string Decode(string text)

{

for (int i=_characterBytes.Length - 1; i>=0; i--)

{

text = text.Replace("%" + _characterBytes[i].ToString("x"), _characters[i].ToString());

}

return text;

}

}

You can use these functions to solve the problem. More information is available in this forum thread: Get HTML content using Request.Form.

Hey Rumen,
  It's not the serverside that's an issue, it's getting the .get_html(true), putting it into a javascript object and sending it up to a webservice to be consumed that I'm having problems with...
