Correct:

<script language=”Javascript” type=”text/javascript”>
if (top != self)
{
top.location = window.location;
}
</script>

Incorrect:

<script language=”Javascript” type=”text/javascript”>
if (top != self)
{
top.location = “/webct/urw/lc18361011.tp0/logonDisplay.dowebct”;
}
</script>

The problem with incorrect is the address used here is not the address in the location bar.  The one in the location bar has the values required to login. Instead I get something which causes users to be unable to login. Example: So we send someone to http://westga.view.usg.edu. They get redirected to another address in which we provide the glicid, insId, and insName. Correct breaks the frame and gives the browser back the same address. Incorrect breaks the frame and gives the browser back a different, non-functional address. Bad. Bad. Bad.

WebCT Vista 3 used the Correct JavaScript which just passes back the address used. Blackbord Vista 8 for some reason changes what worked to Incorrect.

Yay for first day of classes.
🙁

UPDATE 1:

It gets better… Bb Vista’s Custom Login and Institution List pages are unaffected (aka use the Vista 3 style JS). Only going to the generated logon page, loginDisplay.dowebct, has the issue.
