转义HTML和Javascript标签

Question

I have a editable textbox. If I will enter alert('Hi'); , then it saves properly. After saving it will forward to a list page where that text box value will be a hyperlink. If we click on that hyperlink then alert displays. But we want to escape this. Can any one have the resolution for this ? Thanks in advance

Before the text is saved for further processing or display, replace all "<" by "<" and replace all ">" by ">"
