Just want my button to link to a PDF

[Gerald Buckley]

OK, it's been a pretty intense 72 hours and for my last trick my app
needs to link to two URLs (both of them are currently on different
domains than the one the app is hosted on... if that matters). One is
a PDF file (which I could, presumably be certain IS on my domain again
if it matters) and the other is a specific social media site's url.

So, my buttons are in my app and now I understand how and why my other
buttons call certain functions to SetCurrentView to invoke specific
subviews. How do I accomplish my objective of passing a URL to Safari
to create a new window?

Many thanks to everyone for your help. You've certainly made this
first app much easier to create/deploy!

Figures... I bang my head against this all afternoon and try something
I though would never work (and, of course, it did).

In my main.js file I create a function

function externalURL001(event)
{
window.location = 'http://www.foo.com/rest_of_path/';
}

And then assign that as my onclick handler for the button and VOILA!
works like a champ. Now, question I have is... Should I be utilizing a
more optimal method to achieve my goal?

i assume you are using PhoneGap ... ?

Remi -

Yes, definitely intend to wrapper this webapp up via PhoneGap. Does
that provide more or better options? Or, does that plan dictate I do
something else entirely different?
