Open link into browser and not in a web view

[ziobudda@gmail]

Hi all. I have my ios app (phonegap + jquerytmobile 1.0)  that has some link that point to the online site version.

For the moment I have used childbrowser plugin, but I have a problem with google maps and the about:blank childbrowser problem.

So: how can I create a html LINK that open safari ? Because if I remove childbrowser plugin all external link are open (I think) into a new webview inside my application, but without the possibility to return to the previously page.

Thanks.

M.

What have you set the external hosts to in the phonegap.xml file. What
is the current value there?

I don't know much about ChildBrowser, but try opening the link via JavaScript (after adding the external host to the ExternalHosts in PhoneGap.plist):

<script type="text/javascript">

    function external_link(anchor) {

        window.location = anchor.href;

    }

</script>

<a href="http://mysite.com/yadda.html" onclick="external_link(this)">My Site</a>

oops... might wanna return false there.... 

I usually use jQuery so I am clumsy with 'pure' JavaScript ;)

<script type="text/javascript">

   function external_link(anchor) {

       window.location = anchor.href;

   }

</script>

<a href="http://mysite.com/yadda.html" onclick="external_link(this);return false;">My Site</a>

Wait, I think that I need to write some other things.

My app works: I  get some ajax data from the server, childbrowser works when I click on a Link, but my problem is with google maps and childbrowser: an empty page (about:blank) is called when my app "exec" 

$('#come_arrivare2').live('pageshow',function (event,ui) {

                                           //event.preventDefault();

                                            navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(storePosition, errorgeo);

                                            //navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(storePosition, errorgeo,{ maximumAge:1000,timeout:3000,enableHighAccuracy: false });

                                           return false;

                                           });

And only the first time. 

So, to remove the problem I think that I could open my links into an external safari browser, but how ?

My answer was to open the links in the external browser...

[Kerri Shotts]

Does adding target="_blank" do anything? 

[skybondsor]

target="_blank" worked for me!

hi, I got the same problem, so I tryed  your solutions but I haven't seen the this result, infact don't open safari with the link. Do you try o modded this your code?
