Pop-up Blocker Help

You click on a link to an email message or discussion board posting or on "begin quiz" and nothing happens, you probably have an Pop-up Blocker running on your computer. While the pop-up blocker may help while browsing the Internet by keeping annoying advertisements from popping up on your screen, they also keep your WebCT email, discussions, and quizzes from popping up as because WebCT opens these tools in a new window.

So how do you disable pop-up blocker or allow pop-ups from WebCT?

First let us determine whether you have a pop-up blocker installed on your computer or not. Please click on the "Detect a pop-up blocker" link below. A new window will open and check for any pop-blockers on your computer. If, after you have performed the test, you have a pop-up blocker installed on your computer, you will need to disable it so that you will be able to work in WebCT.
