When taking a timed test in Blackboard and using Internet Explorer 8, it has been discovered that the test timer expands to the full length of the test page and hides the Save and/or Submit button(s).  This issue will be addressed in a future upgrade of Blackboard.  Until then, it is recommended that you use the “Compatibility” mode with your IE 8 browser or download and install the Firefox 3.5 browser and use it for your Blackboard sessions. Be sure to put your IE 8 browser in compatibilty mode prior to taking an online test.  Also, be sure to check out our Browser Issues category for more information about configuration for use with Blackboard, as well as our Test Taking Tips page, to help you avoid other potential trouble.
