Nw.js: open links real browser

[zh99998]

is there any way to open all target="_blank" links in real browser?

[Mithgol]

A little help from jQuery makes it possible:

$('a[target=_blank]').on('click', function(){
   require('nw.gui').Shell.openExternal( this.href );
   return false;
});

Update. In the above code I assume that this.href contains the complete URL even if href="…" attribute does not. This assumption is likely to be true.

A little help from jQuery http://jquery.com/ makes it possible:

$('a[target=_blank]').on('click', function(){
require('nw.gui').Shell.openExternal( $(this).href );
return false;});

In the above code I assume that href="…" attributes of such links contain
complete URLs.

We could imagine some new linkout attribute and make a feature request to @rogerwang for <iframe nwdisable nwfaketop linkout>.

I support this feature request, but do not forget to cover popup windows al well!
In my application I open insecure external content not in iframes but in those popup windows like here:

require('nw.gui').Window.open(url, {
    nodejs: false,
    "new-instance": false
});

An option linkout: true would be grand!

I think you can use node-open to do this.

Indeed, these's at least one use case (#1154) where node-open behaves better than Shell.openExternal.

However, here the main problem is that the task of attaching either of those handlers to every _blank link is a large one and thus it's natural to start wondering if the engine could do that for us.

look forward to the linkout attribute

[rogerwang]

you can now handle it in the new-win-policy handler.

Also you can use the node-open

@sergiovilar That tool was mentioned here 6 months ago.

Oh, Sorry. I don't have seen it

nw.Shell.openExternal('http://google.com');
