i have a simple little guestbook, that has name/email/message. and sometimes, when you try and type in your email address the number 2 comes up instead of the @ symbol.

on the keyboard i have, you have to press ctrl+alt+2 to get the @ symbol.

i’ve embedded danish letters (å,æ,ø) and the @ symbol, but it still won’t except it??

any suggestions?
