$.ajax Post method giving error while sending special characters in email body

I am using $.ajax POST method in MVC 2.

There are two texboxes for sending email (Subject, Body).

Our tester is putting below string for negative testing.

^&%@#&*(^!*^#*(!@^#)(!@*#_())(*&^%$&*^*&^*&#&*(^!

And we are getting below error

A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client >(email_subject="...^%$&^&^&#&(^").

image of error

Can you please us know how can we resolve it using encoding or any suitable solution.

If you just want to avoid this error, try decorating the controller action you are posting to with the [ValidateInput(false)] or [HttpPost, ValidateInput(false)] attribute.

You can remove the validation on a specific field of your action by using:

[HttpPost, ValidateInput(true, Exclude = "YourFieldName")]

FYI the attributes of your query string are validated when you submit and special characters create this error. Be careful when using this trick: if your application is for public use, you may use an other solution.
