Using Pound Sign

Hi, When using the editor in CMS 102 admin to change page content whem I use the £ sign it shows fine when its saved in the CMS pages but when I look online at the web page it shows as £ ,thats a capital A with circumflex before the correct pound sign.
Everything else seems fine such as " $ % ^ & * ( ) etc. its just the £ which doesn't. I've tried with key code Alt 0163 as well. The euro key code alt 0128 also fails
Just tried with CMS100 and its fine????????
Please help as I'm trying to do a price list.
Thanks. Chris
BTW it fails in IE and Firefox

Have you tried using the URL encoded value of %A3?

Hi Jimmy
I'm not sure how you mean, I tried entering %A3 and it just entered those characters!!!
I tried using special characters button and it still failed although it looks fine when viewed inside CMS but not when web viewed.
If you can try putting a pound in by keying alt 0163, (gives a £), saving it and it still looks good (£) in the CMS details page. But if you look at the page on the net its changed to £ ?????? Chris

Hi - have you set your charset to UTF-8 at the top of your page after the doctype declaration?

Glad I could help. I only know because I had the same problem a few weeks ago. By default my Dreamwever setup uses utf-8 on new pages
