I guess you are a mac user Devin? The html entity for the euro symbol
used in web pages is "€". "¤" may give you the euro symbol
on a mac, IIRC mac roman replaced its currency symbol with the euro
symbol some years back, but on Windows here I get the dear old
currency
symbol when I use "¤" and, in Revolution, "€" just
displays
unmodified, unfortunately.
Would be nice if € worked, I can't think of any reason why it
couldn't. I've used € or numtochar(128) on windows when needed.
Wow, that's really curious, and disturbing. On my Mac, if I do
set the htmlText of fld 1 to "€"
I get, as you do, the string "€" in the field. And ¤ gives
a Euro symbol on Mac, and the generic "circle atop an X" symbol on
Windows. All along, I've just assumed that html entities were the same
across platforms. I mean, isn't that the point?
It looks like the only reliable way is to use unicode.
