Hi Jason, I tried your suggested symbol combinations: $ $$ $foo 0.50 $! Each produced the expected result, nothing was removed or altered. Its only when I write a dollar sign followed immediately by a number that it vanishes. So writing $5 on the form results in it being completely removed. Writing $f has no effect and it appears on the page fine. I've tested in Firefox, Internet Explorer 6 and Safari, all produce the same result. Next I will try a fresh install of Xaraya on the DreamHost account and see whether I can duplicate the problem. Thanks, Tanc.
