I have a wysiwyg editor on my page and its content contains '<' character. Is there a way to handle this error without turning off validateRequest

I am using a custom framework and my page is a webcontrol (.ascx) in it, so I can't turn off validation only for that page; I have to do it for whole site. Simply I don't want to turn it off just because of one page with wysiwyg editor.

Is there a way to make it work without turning the validation off?

At what moment is the error shown? Upon POST or when accessing certain variables? – CodeCaster Jan 12 '15 at 20:08
when a postback happens on the page – dvdmn Jan 12 '15 at 20:10
Normally, wysiwyg editor should encode the content at client-side and decode at server-side for you. What wysiwyg editor are you using? – Win Jan 12 '15 at 20:56
I use ckeditor, but i am posting its content in jQuery for autosaving. So there is no postback – dvdmn Jan 12 '15 at 21:03
