Opening popup links in UIWebView, possible?

by

I ran into this as well, and HTML rewriting was the best solution I could come up with. The biggest issue that I ran into with that approach is that the web browser is interactive for up to a couple of seconds until the webViewDidFinishLoad: method is called, so the links seem to be broken for a few seconds until they’re rewritten.

There’s three areas that I rewrote: links, form posts, and calls to window.open().

I used a similar approach to the first code snipped in Jasarian’s answer to overwrite the target for links and forms by iterating over tags and forms. To override window.open, I used code similar to the following:

var oldWindowOpen = window.open;
window.open = function(url, sName, sFeatures, bReplace) {
  oldWindowOpen(url, '_self');
};
