As I said earlier, this problem also occurred not just in 5.5, but the 6 Beta as well. The thing with the 6 Beta was that it didn't matter how you used the code the first time. I mean, you could put in the first code by using the keyboard shortcut, or by clicking the button. The thing was that the second time you used a code, like if you tried to close the tag, it wouldn't work by keyboard.
That said...
Tonight I checked Windows Update (on Microsoft's site, you know, the link that's on the Tools menu of IE), and noticed there was a new IE 6 Beta available. I downloaded/installed it, and interestingly, everything works fine now. I tried everything I could think of to test it, multiple codes at once, some by keyboard, some by button, mixing by opening with the button and closing with the keyboard, etc. Everything seems to work fine.
So if what you said is true: That IE 5.1 works fine, but 5.5 does not, and the original 6 Beta does not, then users will need to upgrade their 5.5 or original 6 Beta to the newest 6 Beta for this hack to work properly for them.
(BTW, this is all on Win2k; I have no idea if there is a new IE6 Beta for Win95/98/Me.)
