Hello James,

May I ask you to kindly tell us the steps to reproduce the issue that you're encountering. I'm testing it on iOS 8.1 as well.

Hi
Once I have installed the App onto the iPhone. Navigate form the home page to the "Links" button. Within this page select the top button "Greenpar School Website"
This button takes you to the webpage. But does not function in any way except opening the webpage inApp with no navigation menu.

Hi again James,

I tested it a while ago on iOS 8.1 (Mini ipad) and the moment I clicked the "Greenpark School Website" button, it took me to the Appery.io webpage which I'm assuming that it's not the page that the button suppose to navigate. We are looking for a solution for this and will get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience.

Hi James -

As I see in your app you're using this code on the "Greenpark School Website" button click event:

if you want to have ability to return to your app after opening this link, should be this code:
pre
codewindow.open('http://your_site_url.com', '_blank');/code
/pre

Hi Yes i had it set to my site originally. I changed it to what you had posted earlier just to test it wasn't a typo error that i had made.

I have tested the code you have above previously and it still functioned the same as the code i had here (but going to the website of my choice rather that the Appery website).

I have tried following this guide and got the same result with each different option

James --

Could you please show us the result that you're getting now in your app with above code example.

I don't seem to be able to open the app in the builder anymore. It tries to load but then reloads the app list again. It has been happening the last couple of days. I thought there may have been an issue with the system but now I'm starting to think its just me? Is there anything i can do to get it going?

Hello James,

Could you please log out from Appery.io, clear browser cache and cookies, re-log in and try to open your app once again?

[James Appleford]

Thank you Evgene that worked a charm.

I have tested the code stated as above

window.open('[url=http://your_site_url.com]http://your_site_url.com[/url]', '_blank');

and attached a screenshot of what happens on my iPhone. As you can see it opens the webpage with no menu.
