open link

rss link field is mapped to LINK element, it seems to open in child browser or something like that (I have phonegap app)

the problem is that you can;t go back from that child browser (or whatever it is) to app once it opens the url

when I close the app and reopen, it comes back to previously opened browser window, bottom line no way back to the app - user gets stuck

I'm assuming thats child browser, correct me if I'm wrong
Any chance to force safari app or do it different way?

It's child browser if you use this code:

code
var cb = window.plugins.childBrowser;
cb.showWebPage("http://google.com");
/code

Thanks Max

no idea if that was childbrowser from phonegap or just native mobile-ish version of safari but adding new property target="_blank" seems to work now

target="_blank" is just the standard HTML attribute to open a URL in a new browser

I know, the point is that it worked and changed the way how browser opens, now it shows address bar like regular safari

Max,

From your reponse I assume that there is childbrowser support in tiggzi which I think I came across accidently once or twice.
What I noticed is missing navigation when external url opens in childbrowser. Is there any way/settings to enable button DONE or BACK in childBrowser so user can come back to the app?

Here is the API that the plug-in provides: https://github.com/alunny/ChildBrowse...
