Issue 1: Check browser function that tests Blackboard/vista's browser compatibility is not accessible.

Issue Summary

  • Popup window comes up, but screen reader can move focus to the pop window, not sure why
  • This a major annoyance, but not critical since it only needs to be done once per machine used.
  • Ideally warning should be part of a sequence of server based pages that explains the issues, instead of using pop-up windows
  • Pages could inform users of the current browser settings and how to change them for the browser the user is using.

Resolution Summary

the problem has been fix.
