Configure Pop-Up Blockers
The most current versions of Internet Explorer, Netscape and Firefox contain built in pop-up blockers. You will need to configure your browser to allow pop-ups from ecourses.purdue.edu since many features in WebCT use pop-ups. To make sure you have pop-ups allowed for WebCT, follow the steps at the bottom of the page to manually check your pop-up settings.
Be aware there are other, pop-up blockers from third party vendors and Internet Service Providers. They are too numerous to document all of them but WebCT provides a brief discussion of them.
Netscape
In Netscape when you log into WebCT, you may see a pop-up window check telling you that WebCT Vista takes advantage of pop-up windows.
You may also see an allow pop-ups icon in the lower right corner of the Netscape window that looks like an exclamation mark inside a yellow star.
Click this allow pop-ups icon. The address, ecourses.purdue.edu, should already be filled in. Click Add. Click OK to close this window.
To check your pop-up settings manually, open Netscape and click Edit > Preferences.
Expand the Privacy & Security section on the left and click Popup Windows underneath.
Next to Block Unrequested Popup Windows, click the Allowed Sites button.
Make sure ecourses.purdue.edu is in the allowed sites list. If it is not:
Enter ecourses.purdue.edu in the Allow popups from the following web sites box.
Click the Add button.
Click OK and then OK to go back to the Netscape main window.
