Title Body

I'm writing an application for iPad using PhoneGap and I would like to load an external URL without triggering Safari or using internal web browser like ChildBrowser. I'm using the PhoneGap iPad/iPhone sample project and I tried different approaches. In the onBodyLoad() function I added: window.location.href('http://www.wordreference.com'); but this line opens the link using a new Safari window.From that point is not possible to come back in PhoneGap Afterwards, I tried with an AJAX request substituting the content of the page using document.write function loadHTML(url, timeout) { if (timeout == undefined) timeout = 10000; var req = new XMLHttpRequest(); var timer = setTimeout(function() { try { req.abort(); } catch(e) {} navigator.notification.loadingStop(); },timeout); req.onreadystatechange = function() { if (req.readyState == 4) { if (req.status < 300) { clearTimeout(timer); var html = req.responseText; //just a debug print alert(html); document.write(html); } navigator.notification.loadingStop(); delete req; } }; req.open('GET', url, true); req.send(); } Now, calling from inside onBodyLoad(): loadHTML('http://www.wordreference.com',10000); Opens the link in the PhoneGap Container,which is fine. The point is that I want to load a dynamic page written in Python loadHTML('http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/index.py',10000) At this point Safari is not called but a black page in the PhoneGap container is displayed!! I want to point out that the link is perfectly working if I type it in Safari( I cannot report it for privacy issues). Could be it a problem related to some kind of needed permission??? I found something similar relative to PhoneGap for Black
