Why doesn't my HTML editor work on my Mac?
It is a known fact that the html creator has a bug when used on a MacIntosh computer when using Blackboard CE 8. The only browser that might work is Safari version 3, but the HTML editor does not always work in this browser either.

What browser do you recommend for the MAC?
MAC OS 10.4, 10.5 supported and unsupported browsers are listed in the chart below:
 * **Supported Internet Browsers:** || **Unsupported Internet Browsers:** ||
 * * Safari 3.0, 3.1
 * Firefox 2.0 || * Safari 3.2
 * Firefox 3.0 ||

Can I use Blackboard with Safari //4//?
You can but it is not compatible yet so you may experience issues while using this version. If possible, use Safari 3.0, 3.1, or 3.2. Most likely, there will be a fix in Sept or Oct. In addition, Safari 4.0.3 does fix the display issue with the course menu that occurred in Safari 4.0.2

Why do I need to turn off pop-up blockers while using Blackboard
Blackboard sometimes uses small browser windows to deliver requested content & some pop-up blockers incorrectly interpret these small windows as pop-ups and block them

How do you turn off Pop-Up blockers in Safari?
After opening Safai, click the menu item "Safari" and then click "Block Pop-Up blockers" to remove the check. The menu closes and if you click the menu item "Safari" again you will see that the menu item "Block Pop-Up blockers" no longer has a check.
