£ as a currency symbol

[simpzoidParticipant]

Dear All,

I have the following bits of code, which gives me a black triangle with a question mark rather than £. If I change the £ for $ or pretty much anything else I get $ or pretty much anything else in the grid. I’d be very grateful for any thoughts on why £ doesn’t work.

var localizationobj = {};
localizationobj.currencysymbol = ‘£’;

…..

$(“#jqxgrid”).jqxGrid({

localization: localizationobj,

},

Regards,
Scott

Hi simpzoid,

Take a look at that example:

 var data = [{price: 2.25}, {price: 4.50}, {price: 6.20}];
 var source = {
     localdata: data,
     datafields: [ {
         name: 'price',
         type: 'number'
     }],
     datatype: 'array'
 };
 var dataAdapter = new $.jqx.dataAdapter(source);
 $("#jqxgrid").jqxGrid({
     width: 150,
     source: dataAdapter,
     autoheight: true,
     localization: { currencysymbol : "£" }, 
     columns: [ {
         text: 'Preis',
         datafield: 'price',
         cellsformat: "c2",
         cellsalign: 'right'
     }]
 });

It shows it normally.

Best Regards,
Ivo

Ivo,

Thanks for the help but using your code I still get, e.g:

�2.25

Hi simpzoid,

Check that fiddle .
Does you still see it like � ?
If yes, the problem probably comes from your PC(localization settings etc.).

Ivo,

As a result of your help I have discovered that jqwidget works fine and that the problem is in the server configuration. The server is mangling the £ sign into something unintelligible.

Thanks again,
Scott
