Re: character encoding problem - £ (pound) sign

The problem is indeed a character set one.



* Firstly, you need to have a HEAD element in your HTML.  HEAD and


TITLE are not optional.  This isn't really part of the problem though.



* Secondly, you should put the following in your HEAD:


<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"


/>


This will tell user agents what charset the page is being presented in,


rather than them having to guess.  In the majority of cases this will


also govern which character set the form submission takes place in.


It's always a good idea to specify your charset in the page.
