doesn't work on FF - windows, it's impossible to enter the @

Ok, can you try this link for me?
http://imagevuex.com/demo/x2/test/SampleEmbed.html

Try to input @ characters into both the two textfields and tell me what results you get ...

No it's doesn't work too and the result is the same in the 2 textfields : impossible to enter the @

Ok, seems like this so-called javascript fix does not work properly any longer in neither Safari or Firefox - http://analogcode.com/p/JSTextReader/

Last option available to me, is to create some keyboard mapper that activates for the e-mail field. What this does, is that it "catches" the input characters on your keyboard that is supposed to be the @ character, and then actually inputs the @ character instead of the "wrong" character. The problem with this, is that it will vary depending on the different keyboards out there, so I will need testing from as many people as possible:

1. Go here:
http://imagevuex.com/demo/x2/charcode2.html

2. Click the grey field to make sure its in focus and active

3. Click the key (or key-combination) on your keyboard that is supposed to represent the @- character.

4. Copy the resulting two lines of output, and report them back to me here please

Thanks for testing this for me, and helping trying to workaround this bug that is not solved anywhere ... I can't test it properly myself, because even if I have a virtual windows on my mac, it maps to the Mac-keyboard.

no pb for testing

when I enter the @ characters it writes the à character (please see the FR keyboard layout in this post)

I have only one line of result : code : 224

I hope it helps

I think there was some bug in the test itself that allowed you to only see a single line. It would be fixed here I believe:
http://imagevuex.com/demo/x2/charcode2.html

What happens if you try to enter the actual "à" character?

However, it seems I have your results anyway à:224. The "fix" would work so that it maps this key to the "@" character instead. It would however also mean that you may not be able to use the à character in e-mail fields, but this would not be likely anyway as I still don't think e-mails support characters like this ...

I have the same result when I try to enter @ and à

It always writes à, and the return code is always 224

yes I think you're true, the à is not allowed in the email name but it can be use in the other textfield

Good, then at least we know it is not re-mapping your entire keyboard. This will be a workaround method, and it will only only affect the actual e-mail field.

Here my result

This is my result:


I use these keys: Alt Gr + Q

here is the icelandic keyboard layout:


But I have to say, not only users with icelandic keyboards access my site.
And one other thing, this is not only in firefox, it is also the same in opera. I have tested in internet explorer, it works there.

Hi Mjau-mjau,

Here is my result whe I type the "@" char :

char: à
code: 224

Can you please check for me what you get if you only enter "Q" or "q" (without Alt-Gr)?


That is why I am getting people to test, so that I can build an array of values that will map to the @ symbol. Also, keep in mind this issue is ONLY for non-standard keyboard layouts. For the american-english keyboard, there is no bug.


This is irrelevant. The fix is global once implemented.

Let me add that we are looking at a workaround for a bug that has no other solution. I can show dozens of web links to pages that document the windows-browsers-wmode-flash-@-input-bug, and there is no instant fix for it. It is certainly not native to Imagevue. The only fix for the windows browsers with this problem, is to disable wmode, but this is not an option if you are using Fotomoto, Facebook-like or extended AddThis share menu ... Without wmode, these features will not work. That is the simple equation of all this ... If we can't solve it with this workaround, then either you need to live with contact forms that don't accept @ character from some visitors, or you will need to live without the Html-layer options I mentioned.

keyboard spain MAC alt+2 = char: @ code: 64

I'm actually trying to figure out what char/code appears when you click the "@" character on your keyboard. Besides, this is from Mac? I don't believe this bug is on Mac at all? (I am on Mac myself) ...

This is what I get when pressing q with shift and just hitting q

char: q
code: 113
q

char: Q
code: 81
shift+q

I get the @ sign using the test by using shift+2
