Question

The following piece of code is working on Android devices and iPhone simulator but not working on the iPhone device.

<a style="color:#1cffff" href="#" onclick="window.open('http://somesite.com.');"><u>mysite_name</u></a>

I have tried the following:

<a style="color:#1cffff" href="http://somesite.com">mysite_name</a>

But none of them have worked. Please advise.

Do you have an HTML <base> tag in your document? Something like this:

<base href="http://somesite.com" target="_blank">

If so, all of your links will open in a separate window by default. You’ll probably need to get rid of that element or explicitly set a target on links that you want to open in the same window:

<a href="http://somesite.com" target="_self">Link text</a>

Here are some more details on the <base> element.
