I have installed a BigBlueButton server, and it seems to work fine in that I
can access the BBB demo and also access it from a PHP application
using the BBB API.

The problem starts when I try to open the BBB client in a modal window
created using the Colorbox jQuery plug in using the iframe content type. It works as expected whenI use Firefox or Google Chrome in that the BBB client opens and the
user is joined to the meeting as either moderator or attendee.

**Problem 1:** When I try to do so in Internet Explorer or Safari, the
modal window does not open the BBB client. Instead it takes me to the
BBB demo page on my BBB server. And I cannot seem to join even the BBB
demo in the modal window. But it gets worse. I have added debugging
code to make sure that the url being used in the modal window to call
the BBB client is correct. If I  simply take this URL  and put it into
a new tab in Internet Explorer or Safari, then the BBB client opens as
expected. It just does not seem to be doing so in the modal window.

**Problem 2:** After I have accessed the BBB client using the URL in
another tab in the browser, when I reload my PHP application, and
access the page again, the BBB client will now load as expected in the
modal window generated with Colorbox. (So, the URL generated by the
BBB API is correct). This behavior is consistent for IE and Safari.)
So, for some reason, accessing the BBB client in browser tab seems to
be necessary before IE or Safari will allow me to access it in a modal
window generated by Colorbox. Also, note that once I have accessed a
BBB client in the browser tab, then I can access any meeting in the
modal window (not only the one which I had joined in the browser tab.)
When I close the browser and start it again, then accessing the BBB
client in the modal window does not work again. It seems that in the modal window generated by Colorbox, in IE and Safari, all the components of BBB are not able to load properly.

Please help. I have been trying to figure this out for a couple days
with no luck. Has anyone else had similar issues and have guidance for
resolving them?

Thanks very much.
