I'm using Laszlo 3.1.1 and my application has a <text> view which displays information. The information comes from a secondary source which I don't control and sometimes contains HTML markup. The text control does a pretty good job displaying it, but I've run into a minor annoyance for which I'm wondering if there is a simple workaround. The problem occurs when the text contains <a> tags. If the user clicks the link, the browser dutifully displays the specified link. The problem is that the browser replaces my Laszlo application with the contents of the link. If the user clicks the back button, my Laszlo app essentially reloads. Not a great user experience. Are there simple ways to prevent this?
I realize that I could specify a target on the link and have the content go to another window, but I don't control the content and I would have to preprocess the content, searching for <a> tags and modifying them accordingly. What I would really like is to be able to configure the text control to use a default target of my choosing. Of course the simplest solution would be if the back button just took the user back to my application. Is there some way to get that to work?
