Re: Visual Mode Prompt

Hi,
We've probably done the same Google searches, but...
Are you using PHP? I think that your page is giving the user the option to
use this enhanced editing mode. I don't think there's a switch in IE to turn
it off.

I found several PHP pages which warned that this option would be offered.
Some advised to accept the "Use Visual Mode" option some advised to reject
it.

This page
http://www.britishkodalyacademy.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=1
was helpful to me in learning a little about the "Use Visual Mode" option.
