Javascript escape problem

    I've got a javascript calculator that updates input fields on the page. My problem is that i cant get it to print the euro symbol properly to the input field. Here's basically what i've got: 
    <input type="text" name="total" id="total" readonly="true" class="showamount" />

totalField.value = "&euro;" + total;
    What happens is that the euro code is escaped resulting in something like "€100" instead of "€100". I've tried using the unescape function but it doesn't make any difference.

    I know the first thing you'll probably say is to just hardcode the euro symbol outside the text box, but for display reasons this isn't an option.

    I'm sure i'm just overlooking something simple, can anyone shed any light?

    You could (and probably have to) use the unicode escapes for the euro symbol.
    totalField.value = "\u20AC" + total;
