JABarrett Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 I'm having some issues with a site I'm developing up. For some reason, any of the "New Products" boxes won't show the £ currency symbol - instead they just display a ? question mark. The site in question is located at http://quadrant.barrett-systems.co.uk . All other pages that use the currency symbol display correctly, just not the New Products box. James

JABarrett Posted December 20, 2007 Author Posted December 20, 2007 None of the pages show the pound sign for me?:unsure: Start reading here: Click Me That may help. Appears to have worked perfectly (^-^). Any idea what causes this issue - i.e. why you can't use the £ symbol but instead have to put £ ? Thanks again James
germ Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 why you can't use the £ symbol but instead have to put £ ? Just guessing, I'd say it has to do with whatever page encoding we're running. I'd also hazard a guess that when using any "special characters" (anything not A thru Z [upper/lower case] and not numeric [0 thru 9] and not punctuation [period, comma, etc.]) will show up more reliably across a wider variety of browsers if you use the HTML equivilant of said "special character". Since the "pound sign" isn't A thru Z, isn't numeric, and isn't punctuation, it falls into the "special charcter" category (in my book, on "this side of the pond" ;) ) If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

germ Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 I guess that last link proves I'm a rotten guesser! :lol: As Bugs Bunny so aptly put it, "Tanks a lot, Doc!" :D If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.
