Here’s the dilemma; Flash pseudo code; inputfield.restrict = “^”’"; US keyboard layout: All chars work apart from " and '; UK keyboard layout: All chars work apart from @ and '; (Because " is at the position of @ on UK keyboard?) Now, standalone (url/file.swf) it works the correct way both US and UK. Inside a index.php, the UK keyboard blocks @ instead of "; Why is this? It’s charset utf-8, properly validating XHTML 1.1 ? Any ideas? Here’s the header of the php file; ```php ``` Thanks. No idea whats going on…
