Can't attach files in hotmail

Ok, this is driving me up the walls. For the last few weeks now, I have been unable to attach any kind of file to my e-mails in hotmail. I've tried using different browsers (5 different ones to be exact), but the problem is the same. My solution has been to transfer the files from my MacBook to the G5 and there it works, but it's extremely annoying. Out of desperation, I even just copied and pasted loooooong school assignments to send out to colleagues, but I love all the formatting when I do this. There must be a better way.

What happens is... nothing. Whether I'm answering an e-mail or writing a new one, I am unable to click on the "join files" link. It's there, all shiny and pretty, but no matter how hard I try, I just can't click on it and I, therefore, am unable to join any files.

Desperate for help, it's really driving my crazy.
