Could this be the difference between http and https links?

No significant Java.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

Just make sure you're not linking to a page using excessive Java script. We had a link tab to a page that was updated with a lot of Java script and it broke the tab in a number of horrible ways.

Hi All,

I’m new to this mailing list and Blackboard in general – so hello J

Does anyone have any experience with setting up a Link Tab, so you can display an external web page? I’ve set it up properly, adding a top level tab, then inserting the link tab with the URL. It works fine for the front page of the site, but the moment you click on any link in the page, it goes blank.

Is this feature limited to only one web page? The page in question is a Wordpress site hosted within the University domain.

Any help would be gratefully received.
