Slider Widget

Slider Widget

Hi guys,

Just signed up :)
I'm using a modified Jquery slider my code is below -

  1. $(window).load(function(){
    function showProducts(minPrice, maxPrice) {
        $(".product_container").hide().filter(function() {
            var price = parseInt($(this).data("price"), 10);
            return price >= minPrice && price <= maxPrice;
        }).show();
    }

    $(function() {
        var options = {
            range: true,
            min: 0,
            max: 10000,
            values: [0, 10000],
            slide: function(event, ui) {
                var min = ui.values[0],
                    max = ui.values[1];

                $("#amount").val("" + min + " - " + max);
                showProducts(min, max);
            }
        }, min, max;

        $("#slider-range").slider(options);

        min = $("#slider-range").slider("values", 0);
        max = $("#slider-range").slider("values", 1);

        $("#amount").val("" + min + " - " + max);

        showProducts(min, max);
    });
    });//]]> 

































Basically all I want to do is use the £ sign instead of the dollar sign within the slider, however when i edit the code on the lines
  1. $("#amount").val("£" + min + " - £" + max);

the £ sign isn't accepted in the browser and I get ? symbol appear .
Can anyone help please...?

Thanks for your time
