How do I restrict HTML in a form field?

[M4TT5T3R]

Hi, I have a forum system I am working on (beta is at

http://www20.brinkster.com/lith2/index.html),

and I need to disable the use of HTML in the form fields, because it's being abused... Can someone help me? Thanks!

what do you mean by
>disable the use of HTML in the form fields

Can you explain what you're trying to do to stop the abuse? QUOTE OF THE DAY

i'm tring to make it so that that tags don't work... if you type &quot;<b>&quot;, it shows up as being bold.. i just want it to show up as &quot;<b>&quot;...

Hi,

I think you are referring to &quot;Message&quot; field (in the link you gave). Instead of presenting the text as we typed, present it as the Server.HTMLEncode(<typed text>). Thus all &quot;<&quot; and &quot;>&quot; will be converted to &quot;&lt;&quot; and &quot;&gt;&quot;, respectively.
