PCYD.us vs. StudentLink: a battle of JavaScript

Posted by Garrett P. O'Hara
Filed under: ASUA, elections

I just got another one of those emails from Senator Steven Gerner imploring me to vote for his suggested candidates, but it looks as if there’s some code warfare going on. I checked this morning to find that StudentLink had added anti-frame JavaScript in order to keep itself in its own dedicated window instead of a right-hand frame.

It looks as if PCYD.us is fighting back, though, as it now has a popup link leading to the voting site, effectively bypassing the frame blocker.

Gerner never responded to my request for comment, and I reckon nothing of consequence came out of the elections commission concerning this. Moreover, it looks as if even more senatorial candidates than before bowed out before the general election, not that they’ve made me care enough to check against the previous list. The most boring, intellectually-absent election in four years at UA rages on.
