Java
Check
No Java Support.
If you see nothing to the left (or just a gray box) then Java functionality is not available.

The version of Java that Blackboard currently supports is 1.7.0_x.  Older versions may work, but if you're experiencing problems with Blackboard, you may try updating your Java Plug-in.  If you are using Google Chrome on a Mac, you may experience issues with Java. Chrome does not support Java 7 on the Mac platform because it is a 32-bit browser. A 64-bit browser, such as Safari or Firefox, is required to run Java 7 on Mac OS X.
