How to accept html input through textarea in ASP.NET MVC 2.0

I am using ASP.net MVC 2.0 , i have used a textarea on my View like

<%= Html.TextAreaFor(m => m.Description, 7, 35, new { @class = "bg_area normal" })%>

it shows me an exception while submitting the form after input html data like

<p><b> hello world ! </b></p>

is there any way to accept such kind of data using textarea ?

Is there any way to handle it from one place or, i have to add

[ValidateInput(false)]

to each action ?

I am assuming you are getting

A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client... exception. IF this is the case then you need to decorate your action result with

[ValidateInput(false)]

If you want to post HTML to a Controller method you need to add the [ValidateInput(false)] attribute to your controller method.

Here is the MSDN documentation.
