I wanna constrain to input special signs like £ ¬ ¦ in javascript,but they are always displayed in ��� on Page source. How can i let them display correctly and page can be validated ? my page is using utf-8
thanks

A:
Make sure that:
- You really are using UTF-8 for the page
- You are using UTF-8 for the JS
- Your HTTP headers say you are using UTF-8
- Any
<meta>tags you have which mention an encoding say UTF-8
If you can't confirm all of those, you can use: "\u00A3"

You seem to be confusing step 1 and step 4. For steps 1 and 2, assuming that nothing munges the data on the way, look at the configuration of your editor.

sorry i don't understand. It seems that i just put UTF-8 on the HTTP headers. I should confirm "You really are using UTF-8 for the page# You are using UTF-8 for the JS". javascript codes are outside the form

i put like these <script type="text/javascript" src="[path]/myscript.js" charset="utf-8"></script>, but it still doesn't work

@Jason: look at the current text encoding to see what your browser is using. In Firefox, you can look at [menu bar] View > Character Encoding and see in the sub-menu which one is selected.
