A JCCC faculty member recently indicated (on a campus list that a student using a Macintosh computer reported problems when using Apple’s Safari browser. The ANGEL browser check returned all positive results (green check marks) but they experienced problems using ANGEL Mail and other ANGEL functions. After switching to Mozilla FireFox the problems stopped. Firefox is the recommended browser for Macintosh users and it’s available for download free at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ . In addition to Mail problems, Safari fails to display some ANGEL buttons, which are part of the interface.
A second issue for Macintosh users is how PDF files are handled. No Macintosh browser currently supports viewing PDF files inline; it does not matter which browser you use or the website you visit. It's just not something Macintosh computers do. The same applies to Microsoft Word files.
