A better\easier solution is to always encode data when it is rendered to the page, which razor will do for you by default. Doing this kind of qork via js is pointless as your js code can be circumvented by malicious users.

JavaScript does that for you.
Take a look at this: http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Blogs/12995/how-to-restrict-user-to-put-html-tag-into-textbox.aspx[^]

JavaScript

function CheckForHtmlTag(){
var reg =/<(.|\n)*?>/g; 
if (reg.test($('#myTextBox').val())) {
    var ErrorText = "Oops! HTML is not allowed.";
    alert('ErrorText');
    }
}
