Can't enter text input in IE
I have searched for an answer to this question and I cannot find a solution. When I layout a simple HTML page with one text input, I cannot type it in IE6 or IE7. The HTML below is exactly what I am testing.
<html>
<head>
<title>Input Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<input type="text">
</body>
</html>
Has anyone encountered this before? I've tried various DOCTYPE declarations to try and fix the problem and they don't seem to do it. I may not have tried the right one yet ... Note: I am testing this launching multipleIEs when running XP in Fusion on OS X. (it was a mouthful ...)

The problem is probably because you are testing it with multipleIEs in XP. Installing multiple instances of IE on Windows is known to cause all sorts of problems. IE uses specific versions of certain DLLs, including IME (Input Method Editors) and others.
Installing multiple versions of IE on the same copy of Windows can lead to all the "interesting" problems.
I suggest you try the same test with a copy of Windows with only one version of IE installed. This may be inconvenient, but you are better off using the VPC Compatibility Properties for Internet Explorer Applications .
