I have a Jquery Mobile App. In the App I have an anchor tag:
<a href="http://maps.google.com/?q=street,state,city,zip" data-ajax="false" class="maps ui-link">link</a>
When the link is clicked from a browser, the link opens in a new window, but when the link is clicked from inside the app the google maps opens up in a window that covers the app and i'm not able to go back to the app.
I tried calling:
$('.maps').click(function() {
window.open(this.getAttribute("href"), '_blank');
return false
});
but it still behaves the same.
Is this a limitation of jquery mobile? If I'm able to open the url in safari that will fix the issue.
