asp.net mvc encode on form post

Question

Hello, I'm using a rich text editor in my asp.net mvc form (nicedit with a textarea) and when I submit the form on post, because it is not html encoded I get the following message: "A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client" . How can I html encode the textarea on post ? I don't want to cancel the validation. Is there a way to use the html.encode helper on submit?

Thank you.

Answer 1

You could decorate the action handling the form post with the ValidateInputAttribute:

[ValidateInput(false)]
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult SomeActionToHandleFormSubmission() 
{
    ...
}

Answer 3

Are you using .net 4.0? If so you will also need

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

in your config.web file.
