Question

Hello
I’m trying to develop an application for iPad using PhoneGap. I would like to dinamically load inside the index.html page the main page of an external website.
Unfortunately using

window.location.href = "http://mywebsite.com/cgi-bin/index.py"

triggers the opening of a Safari window instead of using the PhoneGap container.

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot

Claus

Find the AppDelegate.m file in the ‘Classes’ part of the project, and find webView:shouldStartLoadWithRequest:navigationType
Make the function look like this and try again!

- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)theWebView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType
{
    NSURL *url = [request URL];
    if ([[url scheme] isEqualToString:@"http"] || [[url scheme] isEqualToString:@"https"]) {
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];    
        return NO;
    }
    else {
       return [ super webView:theWebView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:request navigationType:navigationType ];
    }
}
