Has the backspace (delete) key issue been solved yet?

Try opening this up with Google Chrome: https://www.dallas.org/cgi-bin/wid/apta ... ntTax.html. Click in any field. You can enter text, but the Delete does not backspace/delete. Still just playing with it right now.

Opened your work in Waterfox on MacOS 10.15.6 Beta and
the DELETE worked perfectly well.

In both the 'Street Name' field up the top, and the mysterious
black one down the bottom.

Aesthetically it "leaves a lot to be desired."

HOWEVER . . .

Chrome:

Top field could not DELETE
Lower field could.

Brave:

Top field could not DELETE
Lower field could.

SeaMonkey:

Both fields could DELETE

Firefox:

Top field could not DELETE
Lower field could.

Tor:

Top field could not DELETE
Lower field could.

Wow! Thanks for the comprehensive. I guess I'll have to troubleshoot it a little more. I wonder if there's a workaround like checking for keypress and seeing what key it is.

I just submitted a bug report. I'm just starting to play around with it. I am going to try and create a pretty comprehensive widget that would take forever in Javascript but I wanted to test some basic "now how do I put that into my web page, again" stuff! I've also heard that MySQL is giving problems in HTML5. That would be bad but I have a workaround (like not using MySQL).

It would be useful if you could post the number of the bug report here.
Thanks for the comprehensive.
Far from comprehensive: just the browsers I have installed on my Mac Mini.
