Movable Type Knowledge Base: Formatting Buttons Are Missing

Question

When I create a new entry, sometimes I see buttons for bold, italic, underline, and links. I logged in today in a different browser and they are missing! What happened?

Answer

Formatting buttons appear only in browsers which are able to use them. The browser you are using may not support the functions at this time.

Currently, the browsers in which the buttons are available are:

Firefox
Mozilla 1.3+
Netscape 7.1+
Internet Explorer 5.5+ on Windows
Opera 8 on Windows
Camino for Mac

Safari does not properly support the Javascript for rich text editing, which prevents the buttons from working correctly in that browser.
