jquery mobile web app

Automator21 Dec 10, 2013 10:08 AM

Hello all,

I created a jquery mobile web app and I have an UL with 5 buttons, 4 of those buttons are anchor buttons and 1 links out to an external .HTML. When I save the web app to the home screen in iOS 7 and launch the app everything works well, my issue is how do I keep the external .HTML page from leaving the web app and opening in safari? I've been expermenting with various methods I found online but nothing has really solved my issue. Hoping someone can share some thoughts on this. Thanks.

Hi

The way to do that is to use the iOS javascript api that opens a web browser within your app, or phonegap.

You have probably seen this behaviour, it has the 'Done' text at the top that you select to close the 'in app browser'.

Off hand I cannot remember the iOS api name, but it should be documented in the iOS developers guide -
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/navigation/

The other way is to use the 'inAppBrowser' phonegap function -
