this q has already come up before but the answers given didn’t help me.

I have text input boxes which display the ” symbol in place of the @ and vice-versa.

when i test locally my @ and ” are appearing correctly only when i upload to the server does the problem arise.

I read that you can have “Use device fonts” set for text input box. Whis apparently corrects the issue.

Is there a way to do this for a text input component?

or should i build custom text input boxes?

or is there a third way?

any input is greatly appreciated.

Cheers

    Are you using wmode transparent or opaque? there are quite a few bugs and glitches with this wmodes in all browsers, including the change in keyboard configuration… see this:
    http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-105

    The only real solution is to use wmode=window (the default behaviour). If you really need the wmode as transparent or opaque (i.e. for overlapping HTML), there is no easy workaround, as it’s not only the @ character, but the whole keyboard configuration that gets mixed up.

    I would suggest you to never use wmode transparent or opaque for anything a bit more complex as a banner, as they are very unpredictable across browsers/systems/moon-alignments, so the testing phase can be a real nightmare…
