Hi Bryan - Very kind of you to do this for me. Your findings are interesting; I don't really understand how or what Java is/does, but could certainly give turnig it off a go when experiencing difficulties. I've just heard back from Hadley's IT guy, and he now says that he recognises that ther

Hi Andy, On my 2013 MBA running OS 10.9, neither Safari 7.0.4 nor Chrome 35 went into a busy state when navigating through those pages or the specific item you mentioned; however, I did encounter a number of other smaller issues during the process, including unlabeled popup buttons and fields t

Well now that firefox relys on your dragging a hand to change settings and all of that stuff, or at least it did when I last tried it, I don't think it will ever be made accessible. I did w speak to them but I really dunno when they will try to make it accessible again. Shame as tha'ts a very

Hi Andy — Can you provide a URL and detailed description for the page and/or fields on which you are getting stuck? Using Safari on my Mac I was able to successfully register online with Hadley late last year, but I haven’t enrolled in any additional courses since that time. With regard to Fir

I have not tried Firefox under Mavericks but when tried it under ML it was unusable because of constant busy messaging. As far as I am aware the only other accessible Mac browser is a text based one called Lightning which may not help as it sounds like there is some odd code on this page which a t
