Inputting characters using InputMethod


Q:I cannot input Japanese characters using InputMethod into a text field. Why not?

A: There are several issues to consider when using the InputMethod into a text field. If you are using an applet, you may encounter difficulty under MRJ 2.0. No matter which input mode of the InputMethod, Roman alphabetic characters will be sent to the text field. This problem is fixed in MRJ 2.1 (and later).

This problem also affects applets running in Netscape Navigator with the MRJ plugin (Communicator 4.7 is OK). Applications are not affected by this problem.
