Dim sbRegX As New StringBuilder(HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(txtComments.Text))

sbRegX.Replace("<a>", "<a>")

sbRegX.Replace("</a>", "")

How do I get the attributes of href and target to be encoded?

Herfried,

I have a text box that could have <a href="yahoo.com"
target="_new">yahoo</a>

With just

sbRegX.Replace("<a>", "<a>")

sbRegX.Replace("</a>", ""</a>)

The output is
<a href="yahoo.com" target="_blank">Yahoo
and the data looks like this
&lt;a href=&quot;yahoo.com&quot;
target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Yahoo</a>,

I need it to look like http://www.yahoo.com with it in a new window.

TIA

Aaron

Aaron,

You'll be looking for Server.HtmlEncode and Server.HtmlDecode. You may also
want to experiment (depending on all the uses of the input text) with
Sever.UrlEncode and Server.UrlDecode.
