Hover Buttons (on the left side of your web page) are not working properly

1. Hover Buttons

Several students have commented that they cannot access the Assignment page on their teacher's web site.  Here are possible culprits:

1. Student’s computer does not have the latest version of the browser (e.g. Internet Explorer) for their operating system.  If that is the case, the student must update their version.  For example, for Internet Explorer, the student must go to microsoft.com/windows/ie, choose the version of Internet Explorer they want and click on the appropriate download.
2. Student’s computer does not have the latest update of their operating system.  If this is the case, the student must download the latest service pack.  For example, for Windows operating system, the student must go to windowsupdate.microsoft.com and download the appropriate service pack for their version of the operating system.
3. To access hover buttons, the computer must be running the latest version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) which can be found at http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp - Instructions to install can be found at http://java.com/en/download/help/win_manual.jsp.
4. Sometimes, the student thinks the page has not opened, but it is really there.  They just need to click on it on the task bar (bottom of the screen).
5. Sometimes, Internet Explorer breaks while you are working on the net.  In that case, you need to close Internet completely and open it again so it can load the necessary Java applets.
6. Some firewalls may not treat Hover Buttons as unwanted pop-ups.  In that case, the student must change the firewall setting (hard to give instruction since there are so many firewalls on the market).
