How to store HTML tags into DB

Question

I\'m using Tiny Mce Editor 4.0.5 in Rails 2.

new.html

<% form_for @custom, :url=>\"create\" do |c|         


        

Answer 1

Using xss_terminate plugin

And in my model CustomReport

xss_terminate :except => [:description]

easy and simple.

Answer 2

CustomReport.create(:description => params[:custom_report][:description])

should do the job for you, but Rails would naturally escape html tags, to stop rails from doing that you would need to call:

[html_safe](http://apidock.com/rails/String/html_safe)

or

raw

in your view on the string with the html tags (This is not safe practice, you should be sure the string is sincerely safe before considering this, as it can expose your app to attacks)
