How is the Euro symbol written in your rhtml?
If you typed it directly as a single character in your text editor, you are probably running into a mismatch between the character-encoding of your text editor and that specified for the HTML.
The safer way is to use a named entity, e.g. €

so i understand, €500 will be read by browsers universally as (euro sign)500 i.e $500?
Yes.
what i did was simply copy/paste then find/replace using a symbol from another site. im not a web designer nor even a rails developer... network engineering is my thing... so character encoding is not really up my alley. apache is our front end and is more my speed but i knew that wasn't causing the problem... im gonna try the named entity, wil let you know how it goes.
