    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)
