After I set my <%@ page ValidateRequest="false" %> , I still get the
error illustrated below. The msdn mentioned something about filtering
using the HTMLEncode. This is a snippet of the code that should display
the result.

Server Error in 'name of app' Application.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------

A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client
(RevisionHistoryTable=" <TABLE border=1 styl...").
Description: Request Validation has detected a potentially dangerous
client input value, and processing of the request has been aborted. This
value may indicate an attempt to compromise the security of your
application, such as a cross-site scripting attack. You can disable
request validation by setting validateRequest=false in the Page
directive or in the configuration section. However, it is strongly
recommended that your application explicitly check all inputs in this
case.
