Hey guys.
Ive just crated a quiz in flash. At the end of the quiz you have to enter your name and e-mail address into a text/input field. This then submits to a php form which uploads the name and e-mail address to mySQL database.

In IE it works fine.

But when I view the quiz through firefox, when I input the e-mail address the @ sign on the keyboard produces a " in the field. And visa versa.
Someone else has tested this and confirmed it. But it only happens in my flash file, its not like this on other websites etc

i'd say it's something to do with your keyboard settings within windows/IE/firefox. sounds like one of them thinks you have a UK keyboard and one thinks (possibly) US.

We had this a while ago, tried all manner of different set-ups..
it's a problem to do with wmode transparency in the fox.
No good get-around, just don't use transparency. meh.

5 1/2 blog » Firefox wmode=transparent is completely screwy and breaks textfields
