Math equation editor not working yet...

First the good news - there is a new equation editor available for math teachers! The bad news is that it will only work with the Safari browser on the Mac, and Internet Explorer on the PC. It will not work with Firefox on either platform.

During a training yesterday I tried to show it to a couple of Math teachers, and it is not working quite yet. You can open the editor (when making a new question, choose "Media" next to the question or answer entry box, and choose "Equation." They were able to craft their equation, but when you tried to add the equation to the question being written, the following error occurs.

Hopefully we can get this issue resolved quickly.

Would this error come from not having the equation editor software for the server licensed?

It now seems that the equation editor is not working in Explorer 7 either. It returns the same error as we receive from Firefox. Clint, it seems like we do get a licensing error.

The editor would be of great help to me as a math teacher. I was able to use it last year by using an old version of firefox. My tech person has not gotten to me this year yet.
