The single quote shows up all the time in words like don't and isn't so it is typed often. In doing a rich text editor, I am not using a text box. If the future of programming is Web apps, then others will have this problem.

Does that also happen here?

No, the midas editor works OK on the single quote, but I can't use it as I need to be able to place each character and add additional graphics, all in canvas. I found out that e.stopPropagation after the keypress command stops the command from bubbling up, and that fixed the problem. Thank you.
