Hi It's a nice idea, but I would like to keep the text field as free text so anything can be entered e.g. " Up to £10 an hour" or "£24k a year plus benifits" it's stored as a VARCHAR in the database, I have tried putting pound signs in other text and textarea fields and the same thing happens, the value is accepted and is placed in the database, when viewing a job it all looks how it should, it's just the form helper doesn't seem to like outputting pound signs.
