Hi Guys,
A Danish friend of mine recently made the move from IE6 to IE7, and while is happy with IE7 is having some trouble with keyboard input.
His keyboard is US English and spends most of his time in English, however occasionally has the need to type in Danish. Rather than switching keyboard layouts from English to Danish (which moves keys around), he just uses the ALT+keycode to enter the 6 additional characters he needs.
Four of those keycodes are working fine in IE7, however 'Ø' (ALT+0216) and 'ø' (ALT+248 ) do not? The keycode works fine in all other applications he uses, so the problem is limited to IE7.
If he switches to the Danish keyboard layout, that particular character works fine?
Has anyone else come across this or similar input problems? And if so, was there a fix?
PS. The other keycodes that work fine are:
Æ - Alt+0198 æ - Alt+0230
Å - Alt+0197 å - Alt+0229
PPS. I tried these key combos in FF2, and ALT+248 doesn't work there either?
