Question

So I made a UIWebView and I had it read a local help.html file.
This is for my app’s help screen.

Now my question is two-fold:

1. if I say have a link in there to go to either my website
   or something then people click that link and it’s within the uiwebview! How
   would I go about launching safari instead? target=’_blank’ doesn’t seem to work.

2. If I want a link to the paid version of my app in there would it launch some
   kind of other program? I don’t want my help screen to turn into a web browser (!)

Answer 1

1. This post answers your first question. I.e. use

   -(BOOL) webView:(UIWebView *)inWeb shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)inRequest navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)inType

2. You could choose to open that link with a Safari, like your question 1, or somehow intercept the link and do something you like use the same method mentioned above.
