Browser issue affecting download embedded file
Jun 13, 2013
Hi.
I have hyperlink/embedded some word files in my course that I want to be opened when a button is clicked. . When using IE the screen flickers when the button is pressed but no download occurs.
If I try Firefox, it works just as expected. To me this proves it is a browser setting. Do you know which setting that might be?
On a related note. Originally I wanted to hyperlink to the file in our LCMS. However, there were sporadic issues when I tested hyperlinking to a url on our LCMS as for 50% of people who tested the course the link did nothing. Might this be the same issue?
Thanks
Stanton

Thank you Leslie. The final step in the second article works (yeay)... I am a little concerned about advising that participants do a blanket reset on their browser settings. I think I would be much happier if I knew exactly what setting needs to be toggled. Has anyone else figured this out.
