Safari shows incorrect symbol for $

[Sharon Cleary]

Hi,

Has anyone come across any issues displaying dollar signs in Safari on the Mac. Firefox and IE show the $ but Safari is displaying an * symbol which is baffling me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I've got Safari 3.1.2 on my Mac, and I don't see this happening - I just made a html page and put a dollar sign in the body. Are you using a different version of Safari? Are you using the dollar sign in a web page that is generated by a JSP (or some other server side scripting)? Are you using the dollar sign '$' directly in the page, or the escape code '$'?

Hi,

We are using the JSTL formatNumber tag to display the value that is set in our business object.

<fmt:formatNumber value="${number}" type="currency"/>

If you need more info let me know.

Thanks

What does a View Source of the relevant section of the HTML show?

Hi,

The HTML source for that line is

<td>�0.00</td>

It would seem that that Safari has issues with JSTL tags. This be possible?
