    Why do I get  infront of every £ sign?

    If I write a page of stuff in Dreamweaver and paste it into Sellerdeck 13 as a fragment or product details, every £ sign gets  in front of it. If I make pages in FrontPage and paste then I don't get this.

    There has got to be a simple reason but I don't know what it is.

    I am not doing anything fancy, just writing some basic product descriptions and pasting them into Sellerdeck. It was happen before I upgraded to Sellerdeck 13.

    My guess is that you need to change the encoding of your website to UTF-8, and using £ in your coding instead. As far as I'm aware, that  comes up when WYSIWYG add spaces instead of using  

    Try copying the descriptions from the code window rather than design view as well.

      Removing the UTF=8 encoding in the outer layout usually works in resolving the £ display issue.

      If you use the &pound; as suggested above for product descriptions or fragments you will need to convert the raw code to display using !!<&pound;>!! but you really shouldn't need to use this - check on the UTF=8 and remove as this is what DW defaults to and FP doesn't - or it didn't used to the last version I used.

        Changing the £s to &pound before pasting the code does the job. It would be nicer if I could just get it to work by removing the RTF=8 encoding, but being ignorant I don't know how to do this. I am not making the whole page in Dreamweaver, just using it to make the product text which I paste into the description box in Sellerdeck. So all the main page settings and headers etc are done by Sellerdeck.

        Do you know where to change this Sellerdeck. Thanks for the help.

          Switch to the design tab and in the code preview pane navigate up to the main top outer layout ... little yellow up icon at the bottom "navigate to parent layout" ... keep clicking until you go no further and you reach the outer layout... you will see the encoding at the top with the <head> tags.

          You may need to do this for both section (product) pages and also brochure pages depending on which themes you are using.
