Adwords conversion amount

Google Adwords conversion tracking widget either added or allowed me to add a dollar sign ($) to the conversion amount.   (I don't think I would have thought to put it in myself, but I might have.)  Anyway, Dreamweaver gave a syntax error on an if and assignment statement using the $.  

I first just removed the symbol from the javascript (which as it turns out would probably have been fine), but I had a thought that it  might not work correctly with whatever's going on back at Google.)  All I needed to do was to go back into the widget and remove the $ from the little input box.  But before I thought to do that, I wasted some time Googling for answers.

If someone is using a plain editor that doesn't catch syntax errors, I imagine they might have a problem with their conversions running properly.
