Browser
The recommended Web Browser to use with Etudes-NG for
Mac users is Firefox 3.5.x.
Firefox requires OSX.3 or higher.
Get Firefox here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
(look for English for the Mac)
Notes:
- Internet Explorer and Safari are not supported browsers for
the Mac. Safari works well for viewing materials, but you won't be able
to use the editor for items that need to communicate with the system,
such as discussions, assignments, etc.
- Many of our Etudes-NG users use Camino browser successfully. We do not conduct QA testing with Camino, however, and thus don't recommend it, as we cannot
guarantee optimal performance across all areas of the Etudes-NG software.
- Netscape, Opera, and other browsers that are NOT listed here are not
recommended.
Instructions
for AOL and CompuServe Subscribers
AOL and CompuServe
(AOL/CS) software includes an integrated browser-like feature that does not
provide full access to the Internet. Students MUST minimize the AOL/CS Browser
once their Internet connection is established and open one of the supported
browsers. Do NOT attempt to use the AOL/CS versions of Netscape or Internet
Explorer.
You must download a separate, complete, independent version of Internet
Explorer or Netscape. This will alleviate frustration associated with known problems caused by the AOL/CS quasi-browser and its inherent inability
to access to a significant percent of the World Wide Web.
