Prototype v1.6.0.2 - Changing $ Dollar Currency to £ Sterling
Edward Nygma
I have written a script in Prototype version 1.6.0.2 and have written
the following function. I am currently unable to achieve the desired
British Pound Sterling (£) currency symbol as opposed to the United
States Dollar ($).
May I have any suggestions as to how I can achieve this? My code has
been supplied below:
sub_total: function() {
var In = this
return $$('.item').inject(0, function(sum, row) {
var quantity = Number($F('Item' + row.id + 'Quantity'))
var price = Number($F('Item' + row.id + 'Price'))
var line_total = quantity * price
$('Item' + row.id + 'Quantity').value = In.to_money(quantity)
$('Item' + row.id + 'Price').value = In.to_money(price)
$('Item' + row.id + 'Total').update('$' +
In.to_money(line_total))
return sum + line_total
})
},
tax: function() {
var tax_rate = Number($F('InvoiceTaxRate')) // passes in an item
var taxable_amount = this.sub_total()
tax_total = Math.round((tax_rate * 0.01 * taxable_amount) *
1000) / 1000
return Math.round(tax_total * 100) / 100
},
total: function() {
return this.sub_total() + this.tax()
},
refresh: function() {
$('subtotal').update('$' + this.to_money(this.sub_total()))
$('total').update('$' + this.to_money(this.total()))
$('tax').update('$' + this.to_money(this.tax()))
this.validate();
}
});

replacing the character in string literals from the $ to the £
currency symbol.
Do I need to apply internationalisation and localisation functionality
or am I thinking about this in overcomplicated terms?

When replacing the '$' in string literal to '£' in my code.

question Mark inside of a black diamond, unrecognised encoding I
assume.

Here is my header.

it to my browser in UTF-8
When I view source as shown below UTF-8 encoding is sent to the
browser, however the £ symbol is still unrecognised.

This is a potential problem source. Can you locate the php.ini file, and see precisely what value is set for the default_charset value? By default, this is set to empty, and that kicks the can up to Apache, which may not be configured to send Unicode by default.

What do you see if you use a static HTML file, viewed locally (file / open), with the charset mime tag set to utf-8 -- instead of viewing from your server?

I've encountered similar issues trying to resolve accented characters for spanish translations of my web sites. The quickest way I've found to resolve character set issues was to replace character codes with the html entity for that symbol. Having said that, try using £ instead. |

Walter I have been using Microsoft Expression Web and discovered
automatic BOM applied to the JS file and have resaved without BOM and
ensured UTF-8 encoding.
Brian your suggestion of the html entity worked.
My application is now working as desired, may I again thank you for
all of your thoughts that helped me to fix this issue.
