Blackboard link vs Blackboard tab and "Frame Busters"

| | Comments (0)

If you have already created your own tab for Blackboard then you probably already know why that is a bad idea. Here's why. Creating an inline frame tab is easy enough, but some external web sites like Blackboard are known in the web design community as "frame busters". A "frame buster" is simply a web site that takes over the entire web browser session no matter what is being displayed. This is exactly what happens when you render Blackboard in an inline frame tab. Blackboard may work correctly for a little while in this case but as soon as you click on a particular link it will take over your entire web browser and effectively break your OneTech portal session. This is why we have included Blackboard as a link and not an inline frame tab.
