Browser Configuration Guide for Blackboard 7.3

End users should use a certified or compatible operating system and browser configuration with Blackboard.
 
* All configurations marked as Compatible and have undergone a limited engineering analysis to test areas of the Blackboard Academic Suite that may have browser issues. Additional information on known browser issues may be found in the Knowledge Base on the Blackboard Support web site.
** Microsoft Windows 2000 supported configurations are considered compatible when run on Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows ME.
*** Gecko is the shared rendering engine at the heart of the Firefox 1.0, Netscape 7.1 and Mozilla 1.5 browsers, which are all considered compatible browsers. Only Firefox has undergone testing that qualifies it as Certified.
**** The Safari Web browser and the Gecko browsers for Apple do not currently fully support the Live Connect technology used by some features in the Blackboard Learning System. The Equation Editor, Collaboration tool and SCORM Content type may experience issues when these browsers are used. See the Knowledge Base articles 181-2429, 181-2428, 181-2431, 181-2432 for detailed information.
*****The preview version of Mozilla Firefox (version 0.10.0) is not supported.

To use one of the recommended browsers, simply minimize the default browser that opens upon connection to your ISP, open one of the recommended browsers and then go to Blackboard and login.
