SUMMARY

When you use the Web Author client in Internet Explorer for Macintosh, or when you use Netscape, the appearance and functionality of the placeholder is different from when you use the Windows version of Internet Explorer.

MORE INFORMATION

In the Web Author client, when you are in Live mode, everything appears as expected. However, when you switch to Edit mode, the placeholder appearance is different, whether you are using the ActiveX placeholder or the DHTML placeholder.

Placeholders are instantiated as a text area HTML form element, which shows the HTML markup directly instead of rendering the HTML. No rich text editing is available for the Macintosh version of Internet Explorer or for Netscape. Because of this, no toolbar is available. Users must type the HTML markup directly.
