Use Special Characters

[SDyke]

I have found that I can use special syntax to display special characters on my form. Example I can have a button with a label of plus-minus by using ±

But if I have an input box on the form how can I use the button to insert the plus-minus symbol into my input string?

This

alert(\"±\");

gives an invalid character error

I have got the insert of special characters to insert at the end of my textarea string by clicking a button. However, what do I do to get character to insert where ever the cursor is at in the string.

Suppose I have typed Dim 3.0 .030. Now I need to add the plus-minus symbol between to 3.0 and the .030.

Hold down "alt"-key and press number pad "177" (alt-177).
