Customizing PublicIP’s redirect page – Brief description.

I had this idea based on the custom login page example provided by the site. If you don’t know it, the login page example hides the required login form inside an invisible <div> tag and creates a new one fully customized. There is another section that is not customizable: the redirect page that comes after the publicip server authenticates the user. So evidentally, that bugged me, so I thought out a plan to use my own redirect page. The idea is to split the login process between two frames and hide the frame that communicates with publicip. So, on the top frame goes the customized login page and on the bottom goes the form that will submit the info to the publicip server. At the time of submit, use javascript to populate user and password fields in the bottom frame form and then submit it. The bottom frame form will send the user info to the server and the publicip redirect page will follow. All this happening in the frame that is out of view. Of course all the technical details have been left out. I’ll post a complete set of instructions later.
