When I was doing some work for a client, I came across a requirement to set the textbox’s default IME settings into Japanese Hiragana. I know how to do that in a Windows Application using Visual Studio (since it’s integrated in the IDE), but in a Web Application.. I really didn’t have any idea how to do it. I searched the net and found how:


To set a textbox’s default IME to Japanese character (double-byte characters):
<input type="text" name="ime_active_text" style="ime-mode:active">

To set it to Roman characters (single-byte characters):
<input type="text" name="ime_inactive_text" style="ime-mode:inactive">

To disable the IME:
<input type="text" name="ime_disable_text" style="ime-mode:disable">
