    Another Pound Symbol Problem

    Hi
     
    I also have a problem with submitting pound symbols to a database.
     
    To see the problem in action please go to http://www.prosider.co.uk/beta/cutetest.asp
     
    If you delete the contents of the cute editor area and then enter a single pound symbol £ and then click save you will see that it is replaced with Â£. If you then click save several more times the problem gets rapidly compounded..... (notice the £ remains at the end of each string)
     
    £
    £
    £
    £
    £
    £
     
    The above shows the result of repeatedly saving a £ symbol five times. The length of the resulting string seems to double each time.
     
    This problem does not seem to happen with other special symbols such as ' " , ; < > etc. etc. In fact the editor seems to function perfectly, except for the pound symbol, but I really need to allow people to enter a £ symbol.
     
    I would be very greatful if you could give me some ideas as to why this is happening and how to solve it.
     
    I am using Cute Editor V6 for ASP, submitting to a MS SQL database (2000).
     
    Thankyou
