mvc3 field contains html text with validation

Question

I have text field that may contain html text (like

<b>Dickens</b>

) in razor view, I display this field with

@Html.TextAreaFor(m => m.CurrentAuthor.AboutAuthorE)

when click in any submit buttons, mvc3 throw exception

A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client (CurrentAuthor.AboutAuthorE="<div align=justify><...").

how can I solve this error?

can it be something like this post? stackoverflow.com/questions/7774161/… — A.B.Cade

If you need to store basic formatting consider bbcode

www.bbcode.org

If you do require more than the basic formatting that something like Markdown can give you consider adding the AllowHtml attribute to your model

[AllowHtml] 
public string AboutAuthorE { get; set; }
