Cameron Perry commented on CB-94:
---------------------------------
This is proving to be a MAJOR headache. Really, all I need is some way to allow
*some* domains to open within the window - like iframe content (often YouTube,
Vimeo, etc) content. I'm fine with having to create a whitelist for my API
domains, but forcing all links, even with target="_blank" or window.open() is
show stopper.
> OpenAllWhitelistURLsInWebView setting still problematic

> The good news: OpenThisWhitelistURLsInWebView works perfectly.
> The not so good news: Once that boolean is set to yes, there is no way to
> force a link to jump out and open in a browser. It's all or nothing. How, in
> the case of an app requiring OpenAllWhitelistURLsInWebView = Yes for some
> pages, can you also force a particular link to open outside of the in-app
> webview?
> In practice, it would be nice (and fairly universally useful) to be able to
> specify whether a link's behavior does or does not open in webview on an
> individual basis. For example in the same app you have some embed or iframe
> links that should be opened in the app's webview, and, other links on a FB or
> twitter badge to jump out to follow or to "like" a page, or "if you like this
> app, click here to jump to our website to find out more" types of links.
> Maybe it is as simple as using target="_blank" inside an < a> tag to signify
> jumping out of the app and opening in a browser?
> or maybe this scheme as an expected behavior ...
> If the OpenAllWhitelistURLsInWevView boolean is set to YES,
> then,
> any external links in the whitelist (ExternalHosts array) will open up in
> WebView.
> Inversely,
> any external links NOT on the whitelist will open externally.
> Thoughts?
