Hi all,

I'm wondering if there is a way to make a WebView to open a link with the system's default browser?

Thanks.
 
You need to set the web view's policy delegate, and then implement the webView:decidePolicyForNavigationAction:request:frame:decisionListener: method, something like this:

Code: 
- (void)webView:(WebView *)sender
        decidePolicyForNavigationAction:(NSDictionary *)actionInformation
        request:(NSURLRequest *)request
        frame:(WebFrame *)frame
        decisionListener:(id <WebPolicyDecisionListener>)listener
{
    [listener ignore];
    [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] openURL;[request URL]];
}


Edit: I can't get that code to format, but it should do what you need.
