JS special char output

[mattquantic]

Hi. All of my dropdowns are generated dynamically. But, html chars like the degree symbol don't come out right if I use JS... but come out fine in html.

For example -
<form name="thisForm" method="post" action="">
<input type="Text" value="&deg; f">
<input type="Text" value="" name="temp1">
</form>

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
document.thisForm.temp1.value = "&deg;";
</script>

Is there a way to get it to render the symbol properly?

document.thisForm.temp1.value = String.fromCharCode(176)
