How to insrest HTML formated text into database

[eluser]alex646[/eluser]
Hey guys,

I'm trying to experiment with CI and created simple blog page which has CKEditor plugin
that is replacing my post &lt;textarea&gt;. Everything works fine, data typed into CKEditor/post goes to DB without any issues, however only <strong> formatting is applied/saved into db, all other formatting is gone once it's saved to db, like font color, italics and so on. Please advise how to make it save all formating that was typed into CKEditor/&lt;textarea&gt; input.

Thanks!!
