Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard):
- Using the HTML Creator with the Firefox browser does not work. Recommendation: Use the Safari web browser when you are in need of the HTML Creator. We also offer a simple Online HTML Editor if you are in need of its features.
- Using the Add Selected button when attempting to add a file to a section does not work using the Safari web browser. Recommendation: Use the Firefox web browser for this operation, or simply use the My Computer function to add files.
