Re: Validation in .net?

There's no general validation mechanism, it all depends on what you are using it for. If you want HTML editor for blog/forum posts, you need to limit it to layout/style tags (<p>, <b>, <div>, etc). If you want a blog editor, you want the entire HTML to be accepted as is, except script or server tags, but you want to make sure the submitted is authorized properly. If you want a CMS system, pretty much everything should be accepted, but in this case you really have to make sure the submitter is authorized properly - allowing unauthorized person to submit server code (ASP/PHP tags etc) will cost you a server.

Re: Validation in .net?

Thank you for your reply
your reply is facinating because it talks about something I had not even considered yet. How do I switch between allowing 1 type of content or another?

I was actualy only asking about validating that a user entered some input into the editor. (Required field) I still need top know that but also want to know about the other thing you talk about. mainly just how can I setup for simple forum posts. so it needs to validate that the user entered something and also it needs to restrict the content like you say. I dont know how to do that and given the lack of documentation here.......
