How to display Euro symbol on ASP pages

[techanita]

Currently i'm working on my college assignment. It basic involves ASP and other programming languages. Now the problem is that i don't have much knowledge about java script and other programming languages. I would like to know that how can i display the Euro symbol (€)on my ASP pages? Does any body knows about it? Kindly help me out to resolve the above issue. Any kind of help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have used both the &-e-u-r-o-; and &-#-8-3-6-4; special characters(hyphenated to avoid them displaying as actual euro symbols). If you save the ASP file in UTF-8 format, then try this instead:

<%@ Language="VBScript" %>
<%
response.Codepage = 65001
response.Charset = "utf-8"
SetLocale("es-es")
response.write(FormatCurrency(123456))
%>

The decimal comma is only used for display purposes, internally it makes no difference what decimal separator is used. First, the "SetLocale()" function instructs the ASP engine to use a Euro-friendly locale. This is similar to setting the LCID but I much prefer the "SetLocale()" function. That is, unless you convert decimal amounts to string, and then try to interpret them again, or of course you are receiving input from the user who writes a decimal comma.

It works because Microsoft has done the heavy-lifting and the "FormatCurrency()" function and the "Response" object know that the "Espanol (España)" locale requires Euro. In that case, I believe you need to use Decimal.Parse(strValue). I tend to use emphasis on the character as it is a rather weak-looking HTML entity.

<%
Function FormatEuro(n)
If IsNumeric(n) Then
FormatEuro = "<b>€</b>" & FormatNumber(n,2)
Else
FormatEuro = "<b>€</b>" & n
End If
End Function

Response.Write(FormatEuro(48.24))
%>
