I am working with a financial services .ASP page for display on a Blackberry. Clients can enter a stock symbol and get back a quote for that symbol. My problem is that our symbols for Foreign Exchange (forex) rates have a leading $$. Each time a forex symbol is entered into the UI (with a simple form input tag), the Blackberry sees the leading $ and blanks out the symbol. Is the $ a reserved character, and if so, is there some way around this?

Thanks,
Mike

Try altering your code in the asp script to write " instead of the '$' character.

it should be '& # 0 3 4 ' (without the spaces)

Thanks. It turns out that it's an issue with the GoAmerica browser and they are fixing it.
