if possible to open your URL into UIWebview then take a button in your class and redirect it on to the WebsiteViewController class may be it helps u

WebsiteViewController.h ///—-

 @interface WebsiteViewController : UIViewController <UIWebViewDelegate>
 {
  IBOutlet UIWebView *webView;
 }

 @property(nonatomic,retain) IBOutlet UIWebView *webView;

WebsiteViewController.m ///—

-(void)viewDidLoad {
 NSURLRequest *request = [[NSURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:@"url"];
 [self.webView setScalesPageToFit:YES];
 [self.webView loadRequest:request];
 [request release]; 
}
