Which browser should I use?

Note: For a complete list of technical requirements for Sakai@UD, visit http://www.udel.edu/sakai/training/gettingstarted/technical.html

Note: To determine which version of Internet Explorer or Firefox you are using on a Windows computer, in the browser, click Help, and then click About Internet Explorer or About Mozilla Firefox. On a Macintosh, from the Firefox menu, select About Mozilla Firefox.

Note: You may experience unexpected results if you use two browser windows to access the same Sakai@UD tool at the same time. For best results, open only one browser window to work in Sakai@UD.

Use one of the following browsers:

Windows

Mozilla Firefox 2.0 and newer
Internet Explorer 7.0 and newer

Known Issues: PC users should avoid using the Safari, Chrome, and Opera browsers to access Sakai@UD. Many issues reported to the IT Help Center are related to the use of unsupported browsers since they can cause unexpected behavior and errors.

Macintosh

Mozilla Firefox 2.0 and newer

Known Issues: Mac users should avoid using the default Safari browser to access Sakai@UD, since it causes a lot of issues when uploading files, as reported by users. Chrome and Opera for Macintoshes are also not supported.

Other platforms (Linux, mobile devices)

Mozilla Firefox 2.0 and newer for Linux

Known Issue: Browsers for mobile devices (iOS, Android, Blackberry, etc.) are not currently supported for use with Sakai@UD. Data entry (quiz, forum post, etc.) is especially unreliable using mobile devices and will produce unexpected results and lost information.

Setting Your Browser Cache

When you are using a dynamic website like Sakai@UD, web browsers might show you an outdated version of a page (what is called a "cached" version of the page). See the "Setting your browser cache" page.
