open link in phone's native browser vs. Tiggzi browser

can I set a link to open in the phone's native browser (the link opens in the Tiggzi browser and the page doesn't render properly, although it renders properly on the native phone browsers)?

What kind of an app are you building, mobile web or PhoneGap (hybrid)?

How are you testing the app?

There is no Tiggzi browser - it's just your standard browser.

The app will be a mobile web app.

I was using the Android Tiggzi tester app. I found testing it in the other environments (via web link and test link) it worked better.

There is also the option of doing what's called "child browser". You open a new a new browser window, but the window doesn't look like a standard browser window, it looks more like it's a part of your app.

I've released my app and the link is apparently opening in a "child browser" rather than in the phone's full browser. I'm using a simple javascript window.open() command. How can I specify it to open in the phone's browser rather than this "child browser"?

What's the exact command did you use..? The script should open a standard browser window (not child).

here's the exact javascript...

var churchid = localStorage.getItem('churchid');
window.open('http://myflock2.com/cgi-bin/streaming...' + churchid);

Try window.location.href='url';

open link in phone's native browser vs. Tiggzi browser

tried it, got the same result. The link opens in the app "child browser". By the way, I found the action "navigate to url" in the Tiggzi system does the same thing (opens the link in the child browser). Although if you click on a link in the opened page, then it will launch the phone browser.
Any help is appreciated!

What device are you testing one? Can you share the app for collaboration with a href="mailto:support@tiggzi.com" rel="nofollow"support@tiggzi.com/a?
