Hi Neil,

Webct is relally a PITA....

Just have a quick question they change their go_to_file for something else

Here is an example
Solution-Laplace

For this file the adress is GEN9593zarema01/scripts/Solution-Laplace.pdf

Is there any way you can update it, i can do it by hand but sometimes i have more that 150 files....

you can contact me at franck110 at gmail dot com

Thanks!

Thanks for the script! Now I despise WebCT a tiny bit less. Now, if only there was a way to bypass that totally useless "Dropbox" feature... Oh, and a way to download every submitted file of every student for a particular assignment, all in one step. Now, that would cool.

Sigh, WebCT is such crap.

My class sites have a few links that didn't convert right. A bug: somehow the following link did not convert into giving the option to download the file.

javascript:go_to_file('TiVo, Cable, Satellite? Choose That Smart TV Wisely ', '/mba840wi2006robinson/', '0', '3', '0','TiVo%20Cable%20or%20Satellite%20NY%20Times.doc')

The following link converted the script fine.
javascript:go_to_file('Minding the Store: Analyzing Customers, Best Buy Decides Not All Are Welcome ', '/mba840wi2006robinson/', '0', '3', '0','Minding%20the%20Store%20Best%20Buy%20Decides%20Not%20All%20are%20Welcome%20WSJ.doc')

Thanks for the script! Saved me from going back to IE. A tip: you could add the class.osu.edu web site to the default web sites for the script since this is a university wide problem; will make the script more useful for the tech challenged. :)
