In order for the ValidateRequest="false" attribute to be applied, you must add the following entry

<httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0" />

to your web.config.

If you are using .NET 4 you may need to change your web config too.

<httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0" /> in web.config.

When you change page like validateRequest="false" make sure you are HTML encoding strings.
