I want to allow special characters to be entered.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I changed calendarscript.js to allow special characters. I changed both 
alert messages in calendarscript.js where the checkForSpecialChars() is called.

(checkForSpecialChars(eventToUpdate.description)) {
  alert("Enter characters: A to Z, a to z, 0 to 9, spaces");
2. I'm still receiving the original alert not the alerts I entered. I can't 
find any other location where this alert is referenced.

3. Thanks

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I want the ability to add these special characters: !-.&

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.1 win8

Is there a newer version?

Please provide any additional information below.

Resolved...I think code behind was cached and my changes were not being 
reflected.

I've done the following and it still does not save special characters to the 
database.

In calendarscript.js update line 132 to:
    var pattern = /[^A-Za-z0-9,()\. '’-]/;

In Default.aspx.cs update line 112 to:

Please advise

Seems I made a slight error in my code, 

Here is the proper fix, 

In calendarscript.js update line 132 to:
    var pattern = /[^A-Za-z0-9,()\. '’-]/;

In Default.aspx.cs update line 112 to:
    return Regex.IsMatch(str, @"^[a-zA-Z0-9,()\. '’-]*$");

Also updated the description max length by doing the following TSQL query:
ALTER TABLE [event] ALTER COLUMN [description] VARCHAR(500)

This will allow as intended.
