Question

I’m using this:

$("td.amount_to_pay").text('£' + response.new_total);

Yet £ is being printed on the screen, I’ve tried just £ but that outputs a character set issue kinda thing.

What can I do?

Thanks.

Try using the .html() method instead of .text() if you want to provide HTML unencoded value to be outputted as HTML. The .text() method always HTML encodes the values.

$("td.amount_to_pay").html('£' + response.new_total);
