Have this at the top of the page: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 TRANSITIONAL//EN"> <META HTTP-EQUIV = "Content-type" CONTENT="text/html; CHARSET=Windows-1251" >
There is a reason for using the windows charset - I think it was something to do with windows 2000 not displaying special characters correctly. I should say that this is mostly only happening on Javascript alert boxes. Locally I don't get the problem, only on the live server. This is probably because I have only downloaded the latest files for the directories I am working in, my local copies of files are probably different outsie dof these directories. I suppose I should look through live and local pages to see where the difference is.... I tried £ and that actually appeared on the alert! Thanks for the links people.

I have tried both � , chr(153) (or whatever it is) and £ but none of them work. I have this at the top of the page: <META HTTP-EQUIV = "Content-type" CONTENT="text/html; CHARSET=Windows-1251"> which I think has something to do with it. Please help.
