I am writing some script to delete one of the HTML code from a html file.

This dynamic site was generated with CodeChargemall>

But I have problem using sed because of the "<" and ">" inside the html syntax

have you tried escaping the < and the /'s in your file?

for example if you wanted to get rid of the word
you could try this:
sed 's/\//'
