How do I make french accents in my browser without having to copy and paste?

Like how you do in MS Word? I'm using Firefox is there a plug in for this kind of thing?

This is a short list of characters enterable in just about any Windows word processor, text editor, browser or email client. To get these characters,

1. Make sure your keyboard is in NumLock mode.
2. Hold down the ALT key and enter the three-digit number on the numeric keypad. (Note that many laptops have a blue FN key that changes a set of keys, also with blue numbers on them, into a numeric keypad.)

Character ALT sequence
脟 128
眉 129
茅 130
芒 131
盲 132
脿 133
氓 134
莽 135
锚 136
毛 137
猫 138
茂 139
卯 140
矛 141
脛 142
脜 143
脡 144
忙 145
脝 146
么 147
枚 148
貌 149
没 150
霉 151
每 152
脰 153
脺 154
谩 160
铆 161
贸 162
煤 163
帽 164
脩 165
驴 168
隆 173

Hope that helps.

I am pretty sure there is an international characters add-in for FF. There is also the option of installing an international keyboard under windoze.
