I have a wizard-based custom template page which posts back some html content. Naturally, ASPNET by default doesn't like this because it recognizes that the html might be dangerous.

I thought I could solve the problem by including the following code:

        protected void Page_Init( object sender, EventArgs e )
        {
            ( (umbraco.UmbracoDefault) this.Page ).ValidateRequest = false;
        }

in the code-behind for the template. I can't do this in the master file because you can't include the validation tag in the <%@ Master... directive.

Page_Init() gets called every time there's a postback.

Unfortunately, !#$^!#$(!@#$^@#! ASPNET still trips over the html content on postback.

What am I doing wrong?
