Basic HTML Question

[jai6638]

Hello there,

I needed some help with this ISO Latin-1 character. Here's the question:

"Use the ISO Latin-1 character set to write this statement in a Web page: Borrowing $50000 @ 10% annual rate costs $500 a year"

What is the syntax for using this? My book does not list any examples at all. Moreover, do I use the characterset even for the letters or only for the symbols?

I tried googling but only found examples for C++,etc.

Thanks

HTML isn't programming, so I think we're good

not sure how I missed that.. thanks.. Do I use the codes for both the letters and symbol or only for symbols?

Thanks much

For valid code you only need to use it for the symbols.

Borrowing $50000 @ 10% annual rate costs $500 a year

$50000 @ 10% annual rate is closer to $5000 not $500.

$50000 @ 10% annual rate is closer to $5000 not $500.

If the OP wants to work for a bank or a mortgage broker, I think he is already well on his way.

There, made a quick page for you, just view the code to see what I did.
(I even added a validation button so you could check the validation.)

I hear those TARP banks are looking for skilled people to loan out $50k for 1% per year.
