I have been experimenting with the rev browser and I found that when you click on links that open in another browser window, nothing happens,

Is there a way to fix this problem?

For instance if you open google.com you can search using the search box and you can navigate to different search results, but as soon as a link opens in a new browser window, _blank, the browser stops responding.

I also tested it on yahoo Mail, and found some interesting inconsistencies.

you can view mail, but you cannot delete emails, but only one at a time, until you reach the last email and you cant delete that email, strange behavior, must be something to do with javascript commands.

But I digress, just curious if there is a way to get the browser to follow links,

as in open new window for viewing say a Video, or other content.

as always thank for any suggestions,

Tim

Hi Tim,

no idea about the mail problem, but YOU have to control how the browser behaves!

Means you will have to check if the user clicked a link (to a new window) and then you will have to catch this and decide to open a new instance/window of the browser

The Revbrowser is NOT Safari or IE, but you have the control to make it behave like these other browsers (wheree someone else also had to programm this behaviour

Ah, OK, I was mistaken thinking it was safari or IE, so I have to prepare for many situations, thank you for that info.

Hi Tim,

it IS Safari on Mac and IE on Windows, at least the underlying framework, but WE have to provide/create a user interface with all its features

I see, thank you, I will have to investigate now and see the possibilities.
