youtube links

[mww]

I have a grid with 2 text boxes, 1 for a youtube link, the other for its description.  When I paste the link into the textbox and click the save button, I get a javascript error and the page crashes.  Heres the grid code

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="YouTubeLink" HeaderText="YouTube Link"  SortExpression="YouTubeLink">
                                                <ItemTemplate>
                                                    <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "YouTubeLink")%>
                                                </ItemTemplate>
                                                <EditItemTemplate>
                                                    <telerik:RadTextBox ID="RadTextBoxLink" Runat="server" Skin="Vista" Width="400px" MaxLength="2000" TextMode="MultiLine" Rows="10">
                                                    </telerik:RadTextBox>
                                                </EditItemTemplate>
                                            </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

 and this is the link im trying to save

<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xT4Kw3A0pHI?fs=1&;hl=en_GB"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xT4Kw3A0pHI?fs=1&;hl=en_GB" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

Im basically setting up a data entry screen where users can save various youtube links for subsequent display on their website, surely this is possible ?  Can anyone help me out ?

Hello,

This is a general error (not directly related to our controls) that is caused by the fact that you are trying to save HTML code in the DB. You have two options:

1) Disable the request validation (not recommended)

<%@ Page Language="C#" ValidateRequest="false" %>

2) Manually encode the HTML code:

HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(myhtmlcode)
