jQuery using .text('&pound;') but it outputs that as a string, what am I doing wrong?
<p>I'm using this:</p>

<pre><code>$("td.amount_to_pay").text('&amp;pound;' + response.new_total);
</code></pre>

<p>Yet &pound; is being printed on the screen, I've tried just £ but that outputs a character set issue kinda thing.</p>

<p>What can I do?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>
