On this web page the salary amount is displayed badly as £112,500.
Cut/paste of the paragraph as displayed is:
"Prof Ó Muircheartaigh was awarded a 7 per cent increase by the review, pushing
his salary up to £102,500 compared to £95,720 previously."
The problem seems to be with this piece of HTML:
<p>
Prof Ó Muircheartaigh was awarded a 7 per cent increase by the review, pushing
his salary up to &#163;102,500 compared to &#163;95,720 previously.<p><p>
The html displays the amount wrongly in IE also. My guess is that they are using
the special symbol for the Irish Pound (Punt) and this is not being supported by
the browsers.
I tried using IE and Opera 5 and get the same display as in Mozilla

University heads' pay leads to 'downgrading' fears
</h1></center>
<hr width=340>
<b><font size="3">
<!--BYLINE-->
By Emmet Oliver,
Education Correspondent

<p>
<!--STORY-->
A serious dispute has arisen over the salaries paid to various university
presidents, according to confidential minutes from NUI Galway seen by The Irish
Times.<p><p>
According to the minutes, the president of NUI Galway, Prof Iognáid Ó
Muircheartaigh, and his senior managers, say the recent decision to award them
the same salaries as academics at DCU, NUI Maynooth and the University of
Limerick (UL), could cause the college to be seen as a "second-class
university". Heads at Trinity College, University College Dublin and University
College Cork receive more.<p><p>
The president says being bracketed with smaller colleges such as DCU and UL
could be perceived as a "downgrading" of the university. The pay awards were
recently recommended by the Buckley review on higher remuneration in the public
sector.<p><p>
Prof Ó Muircheartaigh was awarded a 7 per cent increase by the review, pushing
his salary up to &#163;102,500 compared to &#163;95,720 previously.<p><p>
The equivalent posts at Trinity College, UCD and UCC all received bigger rises
(from 11 per cent to 17 per cent), with their salaries reaching
&#163;112,500.<p><p>
The review decided to put the NUI Galway president on the same band as DCU, NUI
Maynooth and UL heads.<p><p>
Previously, the NUI Galway post was on the same band as UCC, but on a lower band
than Trinity and UCD.<p><p>
The college has made representations on the issue of salaries for its top
managers to the Combined Head of Irish Universities. It is also understood
representations have been made to Government representatives.<p><p>
However, the Department of Finance, while agreeing to implement the Buckley
proposals, has refused to reopen the question of pay awards to individual
college officers.<p><p>
In the minutes, taken at a series of recent governing body meetings at NUI
Galway, the president and his managers raise serious concerns about the issue.<p><p>
The president is recorded on May 25th as saying the matter is "important for the
long-term strategic development of the university that it not be seen as a
second-class university".<p><p>
The minutes were obtained by <i>The Irish Times </i> under the Freedom of
Information Act.

University heads' pay leads to 'downgrading' fears
</h1></center>
<hr width=340>
<b><font size="3">
<!--BYLINE-->

Education Correspondent

<p>
<!--STORY-->
A serious dispute has arisen over the salaries paid to various university
presidents, according to confidential minutes from NUI Galway seen by The Irish
Times.<p><p>
According to the minutes, the president of NUI Galway, Prof Iognáid Ó
Muircheartaigh, and his senior managers, say the recent decision to award them
the same salaries as academics at DCU, NUI Maynooth and the University of
Limerick (UL), could cause the college to be seen as a "second-class
university". Heads at Trinity College, University College Dublin and University
College Cork receive more.<p><p>
The president says being bracketed with smaller colleges such as DCU and UL
could be perceived as a "downgrading" of the university. The pay awards were
recently recommended by the Buckley review on higher remuneration in the public
sector.<p><p>
Prof Ó Muircheartaigh was awarded a 7 per cent increase by the review, pushing
his salary up to &#163;102,500 compared to &#163;95,720 previously.<p><p>
The equivalent posts at Trinity College, UCD and UCC all received bigger rises
(from 11 per cent to 17 per cent), with their salaries reaching
&#163;112,500.<p><p>
The review decided to put the NUI Galway president on the same band as DCU, NUI
Maynooth and UL heads.<p><p>
Previously, the NUI Galway post was on the same band as UCC, but on a lower band
than Trinity and UCD.<p><p>
The college has made representations on the issue of salaries for its top
managers to the Combined Head of Irish Universities. It is also understood
representations have been made to Government representatives.<p><p>
However, the Department of Finance, while agreeing to implement the Buckley
proposals, has refused to reopen the question of pay awards to individual
college officers.<p><p>
In the minutes, taken at a series of recent governing body meetings at NUI
Galway, the president and his managers raise serious concerns about the issue.<p><p>
The president is recorded on May 25th as saying the matter is "important for the
long-term strategic development of the university that it not be seen as a
second-class university".<p><p>
The minutes were obtained by <i>The Irish Times </i> under the Freedom of
Information Act.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open the URL: http://www.ireland.com/newspaper/front/2001/1203/fro3.htm
2.Go down to the fourth paragraph which shows the amounts badly
3.
Actual Results: I get the fourth paragraph displayed as:
Prof Ó Muircheartaigh was awarded a 7 per cent increase by the review, pushing
his salary up to £102,500 compared to £95,720 previously.
Expected Results: Prof Ó Muircheartaigh was awarded a 7 per cent increase by
the review, pushing his salary up to £102,500 compared to £95,720 previously.
(I am guessing what they wanted to show here - the irish pound symbol,)
The problem seems to be with this piece of HTML:
Prof Ó Muircheartaigh was awarded a 7 per cent increase by the review, pushing
his salary up to &#163;102,500 compared to &#163;95,720 previously.<p><p>

The site is clearly confused.
£ will be displayed as £
& will be displayed as &
The source currently contains: &#163;
The source should contain: £
Note that what is currently displayed on the screen (£112,500), should be
in their html.
Marking new, but is this really Tech Evangelism (doesn't work in IE, Opera5)?

I have a similar problem when using Mozilla to create Web Mail. I am running
Mozilla 1.3, although I observed the same problem in other versions( I have
tried 1.2.1, 1.3a, and 1.3b) but I do not get the problem in IE5.5.
When I send an Email with a £ sign, it arrives at the other end as "£". This
is not acceptable to Uk based users. Sample Mozilla screen:-
