When calling window.open()
in a iOS web app, the page opens in the web app instead of mobile safari.
How can I force the webpage to open in mobile safari?
Note: Using straight <a href>
links is not an option.
This is possible. Tested with iOS5 stand-alone web app:
HTML:
<div id="foz" data-href="http://www.google.fi">Google</div>
JavaScript:
document.getElementById("foz").addEventListener("click", function(evt) {
var a = document.createElement('a');
a.setAttribute("href", this.getAttribute("data-href"));
a.setAttribute("target", "_blank");
var dispatch = document.createEvent("HTMLEvents");
dispatch.initEvent("click", true, true);
a.dispatchEvent(dispatch);
}, false);
