I had a keyboard like that once - the keys just wore out. The way I figure it you have two options: 1. buy a new one, 2. steal a new one. :D

First of all, post per day count is not a race. Mine is high, but I have been spending less time in OT and more time helping out in other forums.

No my keyboard is not broken, I am just stuck on an iMac.

press the <alt> button and hold it
on the keypad (or whatever) type out "032" then let up off of the <alt> key

voila. a space.

Now, you can make things like faces with other alt characters... <alt>13 is that music note like I did above. &#9834;&#9834;&#9834;
<alt>0222 is a mouth with a tongue... :-&THORN;

see? :) Every possible character that your computer can display with the keyboard has an <alt># shortcut. You just gotta find them. :)

Now, for a blatant statement of the obvious...

Stop your whining, and go buy a new keyboard. :)

I wonder if the HTML escape for a space will work?

Edit: yep          it works, I guess

really
annoy

space
bar
