Cannot Load Login Server URL in a Frameset (301343)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Passport 1.99
  • Microsoft Passport 1.3
  • Microsoft Passport 1.4
This article was previously published under Q301343

SUMMARY

Because of security concerns, the Passport Login server URL cannot be loaded into a frameset.

MORE INFORMATION

The Passport Login server URL must always be the top window in the object model. Do not call LoginUser from within any framed page. If LoginUser is called from within a frameset and is viewed by a non-Passport-aware client application, the end user receives a runtime error from the browser scripting engine due to cross frame scripting security issues.

Specify target="_top" for any HREF that points to the Login server if your site uses frames. Note that you may have to parse and reform the output of the LogoTag2 method if you intend to include the Passport link in a framed document.
