keyboard will not add quotes to coffee cup software, keyboard workes on email and word.

I would imagine it's because you're "programming" not writing HTML? Just guessing here, but the functions that the HTML Editor will respond to will be HTML associated, not other language associated other than CSS that is. It "may" have properties built into it for PHP and Javascript, but I'm doubting that it's going to follow all the protocols for those languages. Since we can't really tell what language you're writing above it's hard to say what it is you're trying to do. Am just assuming that it's not a web based language and that the program will therefore not respond to the "quotes" and other keyboard characters that need to go in specific places as it isn't meant to be a programming editor.

Just guessing here as I said.

P.S. I opened a blank page in the HTML Editor and typed what you have above and put full quotes around the "i love" as I "think" you were trying to do and it worked fine for me. Maybe it has to do with the rest of the page that it's reading such as doctypes etc. that maybe are interferring with it?
