There is a problem using IE7 with Blackboard. Sometimes you go to enter something into a text box and the box does not appear. The solution I recommended in the past was to turn off the Visual Text Box Editor. A new (better?) solution is available. You can install a program from Microsoft that will launch IE7 in a special way, so that it acts like IE6, and web sites that don't work under IE7 will now work. When you are done you close that browser and open a regular IE7 browser to do your other work.
You can find the program at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9517DB9C-3C0D-47FE-BD04-FAD82A9AAC9F&displaylang=en (all one line) or search for "User Agent String Utility Version 2" on Google.
