JavaScript jQuery Basics (2014) Creating a Simple Lightbox Preparation

Why doesn't Workspaces launch when I click on the button? Instead, the button just takes me right back to the video.

I am using Macbook Pro with Chrome. It also happens with Safari.

I have found a similar issue. What I do is whenever I finish a video I close 'workspaces'. Once I start the new video I open it back up again.

Another issue I've seen is if you have sized your browser so that Team Tree House is in a single column layout it will not load.

Good luck!

I ran into the same issue when using Firefox. I opened the lesson in Chrome and everything was working correctly.

I get this in chrome. I find that it opens fine when the browser is in full screen, but when the browser is less than a full screen it often doesn't open properly and I have to go back and re-open the track.

Unfortunately I've found Chrome and Firefox to both be buggy on Treehouse. When I'm on my Mac I use Safari, and use Edge on my PC. I've had zero issues since I started doing that about a month ago.

Make sure you turn off ad blocking programs on Treehouse since they can break the page as well.
