Personal Information

The HMTL (WYSIWYG) editor will not work in Vista IE 7. The box where you type your text is so small that your curser will not appear and nothing will type. To allow yourself and your students to type text without the HTML editor, you need to change your Visual Text Box Editor Options.

Q: What does this option do?
A: While using Vista's Internet Explorer (IE) 7 browser the HTML editor window will not allow you to type text. This will allow you to have access to a basic text window. If you choose to use Firefox, then you can turn that off.
