$.post in a each loop ASP.NET MVC

Question

Have some simple jquery that Im trying to execute on a button click. For some reason it is not working. It "posts" the first element with class of 'editable' but not any others. I have about 9 elements in DOM that is should be looping through.

I taken a look with firebug at each post request and like I said the first is ok, but then the rest come back and '500 Internal Server Error'.

Below is my code, any ideas here?

$(".editable").each(function() {
            if (this.id != '') {
                //save content of each item
                $.post("/DynamicContent/SaveContent", { hid: this.id, content: $(this).html() }, function(data) {
                    alert(data);
                });

            }
        });

Upon further investigation, I removed the .html() from the content property, and everything seems to be posting to the controller fine now. the html() must be causing some sort of issue here..... — Jon Scalet

You're probably getting a HttpRequestValidationException from posting unencoded html. See How to avoid HttpRequestValidationException in ASP.NET MVC rendering the same view which caused the exception

Mauricio, thanks! This seems to be my issue, should i encode the HTML? Probably a safer bet right?

accepting html is not trivial, see google.com/search?q=xss+asp.net+mvc
