Only allowing certain html tags

[Aaron]

Hello,

I would like to limited what html tags are allowable in inputting into an
xml page. Just <a>,<b>,<i>,<font>, <li>, <ul> and <ol>. I am using VB 2005.

TIA

The following is a Regular Expression used to remove an offending list of
HTML tags in a "description" string:

description = Regex.Replace(description,
@"</?(?i:meta|p|img|link|style|h1|font|h2|h3|h4|b|strong)(.|\n)*?>", "");

Peter,

Thanks, ok new issue is that it is not allowing any text that would be in
the <h1>BOO!!!</h1>. How would you keep the text and not the tags?

TIA

There's a very nice Regex wiki site for .NET here:

Peter,

How do you bind the str to the txtD.text so then it would work?
