A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client (PlaceholderHtmlControl3:AuthoringModeControlsContainer:ActiveXAuthoringControl="...rove Bank <A href=" /Woodgrove...").
Description: Request Validation has detected a potentially dangerous client input value, and processing of the request has been aborted. This value may indicate an attempt to compromise the security of your application, such as a cross-site scripting attack. You can disable request validation by setting validateRequest=false in the Page directive or in the configuration section. However, it is strongly recommended that your application explicitly check all inputs in this case.

You have entered text into a textbox that contains potentially dangerous or malicious content (probably HTML tags) - this is blocked by default.
If you want to allow this kind of input - open the aspx page in the html view and find the page directive <@% Page ....%> bit near the top and before the closing %> add
validateRequest=false

However this could open your website to abuse / attack.
It may be helpful if you give us a bit more background on what you are doing - there may be an easier/safer alternative.
