Jason, Thanks for the reply. Here's what I asked my students to do:
1. Open Firefox and from the Tools menu, choose Add-ons. 2. Click the Get Add-ons tab, search for Firebug, and install it. There should now be a little bug in the lower-right corner of your Firefox window. 3. Go to sagenb.org, log in, and open up a worksheet. 4. Click the little bug from step 2 to open up the Firebug pane at the bottom. 5. Click on the tab entitled "Net" in that pane. If it's not enabled, use the little drop-down menu to enable it. 6. Click the reload button on the page, and you should see lots of activity happen in the firebug window. 7. Look through that activity to see if you can see anything that mentions "TinyMCE" (it may be, for instance, a line like "GET tiny_mce.js".) The first reply I got said this: I did all of the steps and in the Firebug window. There are two lines that say "GET tinymce.js" and "GET tiny_mce.js." Both say "304 Not Modified" after them. The text box still does not come up in Sage. (By "text box" here she means the TinyMCE editor.) Does this help you with diagnosis? Thanks!
