Hello.

I want to show dynamic data into the new HTML container included in MobiOne 2.1.1 version. To test this function, I am inserting Html code including a link to an external URL, as a result, I get my html code to display within the panel as expected, but when I click on the Url link, the new page opens and fills the whole screen of the device.

How can I keep the clicked URL within the panel of origin?

Thanks!

Hi daco,

Is your app a native or webapp? Can you post your HTML code here to take a look?

Hello Octavio.

The app is intended to be native, the device is an IPhone.

>but when I click on the Url link, the new page opens and fills the whole screen of the device.

The HTML widget defines a region in your screen into which your custom html code will render. It is not an embedded window that will render content from other sites. You would need to use an <iframe> for such behavior. But <iframe> tags are kaput on iOS devices and just don’t work – don’t waste your time with this tag on mobile devices.

Since you are building a native app consider using the native popup window features similar to the the GotoURL(popup) action configuration. The following html snippet will open your link in a popup window of your app similar to how many news or twitter readers work. The onclick attribute does the work by calling a mobione javascript function that works across devices and platforms. Replace the google.com url with your site URL Change the styling to meet your UI requirements.

 <a style="color: #0000FF; text-decoration:underline" onclick="phoneui.showURL('http://google.com','_popup'); return false;">TAP ME</a>

Thanks wayne,

but how could I consider using the native popup window features?

Hi jaboo,

You can use a button widget an set the action to Go to URL, and the property Open URL in set to Popup window(native only)

thanks a lot octavio, but why the down menu disappeared !!
I have used the same test app attached and I set the next button to Go to URL “www.google.com”, and the property Open URL in set to Popup window(native only)
when I click next the app will go to google.com without the down menu!

Thanks Octavio / Wayne

I got the idea, but I cannot view proper results in MobiOne Test Center, I get this message: Warning – Unable to open a new browser window. MobiOne does not support multiple browser Windows.

any help pls!!!

Hi jaabo,

Is your request embedding remote content in the current page. If yes, this is just not possible on iOS devices due to the lack of functional <iframe> implementation on that platform. This is not a MobiOne issue it is an iOS Mobile Safari limitiation.

@daco,

Mobione Test Center doesn’t support multiple windows atm. But you will see that your URL open on a new window on your desktop browser.
