Im having problems with a field in a form i am using, i need the salary field in the form to hold a "£" in the input field by default, can anyone help?

 

My code for the salary field is:

 

<fieldset> 
<label for="salary">Salary:</label> 
<input name="salary" type="text" id="salary" value="<?php echo $_POST['salary']; ?>"/> 
<span class="redboldtxt"><?php echo "$salary_message";?></span></fieldset>

From my experience adding that tot he actual field is not worth the time, effort or greater propensity of error. Just put the symbol right in front of the field

 

Example:

 

           __________
Salary  £ [__________]

thats what I normally do.

I agree. try summing up those number when there is something other than the number in the field. Can be a major nightmare. If you are going to have several different dollar amounts add another field with the currency type. then the scripts could generate the currency symbol on the fly.
