    xe.com currency coverter and & sign %A3 firefox

    Hello Good Buddies,

    I've just put xe.com currency converter on my checkout pages as per the instructions in the AUG and on the xe.com website
    http://www.xe.com/ecc/shoppers/

    When i go to the checkout in IExplorer all is fine. The 'convert' field in the xe.currency converter uses the NETQOUTEVAR:TOTAL without problem, the £ sign being displayed correctly, and thus the currency conversion works fine.

    However, if i visit the shopping cart using firefox, the 'convert' field, instead of showing the £sign, shows;'%A3' so when you press 'go' the result is wrong. (a 3 is added to the front of the price giving a conversion hundreds of dollars out)

    Am i being a monkey?
    Is this just a browser issue?
    I've tried changing the character encoding on firefox to every option, but none seem to render the £ sign correctly.

    Could anyone have a look in IE and Firefox and tell me what they see?

    Thanks,
    Feemish

    I was going to suggest NETQUOTEVAR:COST however that also puts in the pound sign and it gets converted.

        Any Clues anyone?

        Xe.com wont offer any support for the currency converter.
        Is there a way to take the pound sign off the NETQOUTEVAR:TOTAL

          It might a browser issue, the XE site says;
          Unfortunately, only Microsoft Internet Explorer currently allows embedded frames
          Or are you using the independent floating window version?

            Hi,
            I'm using the embedded <IFrame>
            The fram is embedded fine in firefox, its just the pound sign thats interfering with the calculation.

            If you go to my site, put something in the basket and go to checkout, you'll see what i mean.

              I think you may need some js to strip out the pound sign before passing it.

                  Code:
                  <script type="text/javascript">
function XE() {
var find = "£";
var repl = "";
var find = "%A3";
var repl = "";
var page = document.body.innerHTML;
while (page.indexOf(find) >= 0) {
var i = page.indexOf(find);
var j = find.length;
page = page.substr(0,i) + repl + page.substr(i+j);
document.body.innerHTML = page;
}
}
</script>
                  £ should be & # 1 6 3 ; (without spaces, the community converts it).

                  With an onload for the body tag:
                  Code:
                  <body onload="XE()">
                  Strangely, when I use the xe.com converter code it works in Firefox without this Javascript. Could it be a server character set issue?.

                    Odd - it doesn't work for me in FF only in IE.

                      Add to cart at [EDIT: Old link removed] are you getting a pound sign in the XE converter "Convert" field? I am. I've got Firefox version 2.0.0.7.

                        I'm also using firefox 2.0.0.7
                        when i visit your test site and go to checkout it all works fine, the correct value is displayed... but there is no £ (pound) sign in the 'convert' field... odd

                        Also, strangely, the format and appearance of the embedded converter has changed today ! to the ligh blue xe personal currency assistant... and now the value in my 'convert' field on my site no longer has the %A3 but just '3' added to the front of the total!!
                        Very confusing.

                          Hey Louise

                          we're both using exactly the same code... i just checked... and yet if i go to checkout using firefox at your store it works.. whereas at mine it doesnt.
                          Why on earth should that be?
                          Whats the server character set issue? Could it be that i wonder?

                          Havent tried the javascript yet.... but thanks for that, i'll try it if i get nowhere else

                            It's the set of characters installed on the server. Well you'll need a new Javascript now since they changed the code and you're only left with a number 3.
