Summary

Users of Windows Internet Explorer 8 and 9 may occasionally be unable to view content linked externally from ANGEL or Blackboard, receiving a message stating "Navigation to the page has been canceled."

Details

Viewing some external links from ANGEL or Blackboard will prompt a warning dialog in Internet Explorer 8 and 9, asking the user "Do you want to view only the webpage content that was delivered securely?" In previous versions of Internet Explorer, the same warning appeared, but was worded differently and required the response of "Yes." The new wording is such that users must actually click "No" to see the desired content. Users may have received this message and mistakenly replied "Yes," and are now unable to view the content linked from their ANGEL or Blackboard course.
