How do I display a Pound Sign???

[Nokia_Archive]

HI there,

I am currently building a WAP site using the latest version of the WAP tool kit 2.0. I have been success so far and the prototype is fine. But I have a nacking problem. I am based in the UK and would very much like to display the '' - pound sign again, any values whch are displayed.

I can't figure out what I need to include into the code and where I need to include it. I know that I need the ASCII value, But I still come with a error message 'illegal character in character reference.

Any suggestion would be helpful..

Thanks again...

Simon

Hi Simon

When displaying a ampersand (&amp sign I use &
Ampersand is 38 in the ascii table if i'm not mistaken, so you'll just have to find the ascii value for and put it in like this: &#value;

What happens is that the gateway mistakes the pound sign for a predefined value (or sumthing).

Cheers,
Thomas

Hi Everyone..

I ahve managed so solve the problem with the pound sign.

You need to place the numeric value instead of the actual symbol in this case the &#163

Thanks for everyones help
