If they leave your app they have, well eh, left the app. You'll be able to to it with some jigery pokery I would imagine but don't believe that is an option at moment, will have a wee peek and see if I see anything.

In most cases the page never loads. Comments I agree...however BT 1.5 seems to hang very badly when trying to open a page. In most cases the page never loads.

Have a look at the LogCat console and see what URL it's trying to load? If you want to a URL in the native browser you have a few options. a) Wait until we finish phase 2. The 'launch native app' option will be included with that update. b) Have a look at the shouldOverrideUrlLoading method in the BT_screen_webView.m file. This is the section of code that determines if the URL should load in the regular browser or in the native browser. You'll see a call to BT_act_controller.canLoadDocumentInWebView. This method simply looks at the URL and returns YES or NO. Have a look at that method too. Comments Hangs.....it shouldn't. Have a look at the LogCat console and see what URL it's trying to load?
