What is the HTML code for a Pound Sign £ 1

[Shotgundave]

Hi All,

My mind is somewhere else today, do any of you know the HTML code for a pound sign?

Here it is:
[tt]
& # 1 6 3 ; [/tt] (no spaces of course)

Thank you Starway, that did the trick.

Now I would like to ask the same question about the Euro (European currency). I have used the code shown on my page (

http://www.kalikalos.org/programme.html),

and it works in most browsers. However, today I just discovered that it doesnt work in the AOL browser. It is rendered as a rectangular box, which is disconcerting.

Is there a way I can force AOL browser to produce the Euro symbol there?

thanks

jock

Hi JockM,
I work for AOL and your site looks the same in the AOL browser as it does in IE.
The same code can be used in IE as in AOL (5-7) as browser we integrate is IE

You can also use "&pound".
