is this possible.

i’d like to create a page with a navigation bar
at the top and then the rest of the page being
a container in which a web-page can be
displayed.

e.g. panel.href.location = “http://www.google.com”

would display that particular url in that page.

We have this capability high on our todo list. The approach for implementing this requirement is to use html iframe. But there is a critical bug with the iOS implementation of iframe. We continue to monitor each iOS release for improvement.

is the problem created by the nav bar requirement.

in that case a full web-page is fine (preferably with the browser
nav toolbar enabled then – so that the user can get back to
the app. (of course all this would work only with data access)

since the app is being run within the browser – i would think
this is doable.

window.href.location = “http://www.google.com”

should do it…no?

Without an iframe there is no way to reliably support a back button. The issue arises when a user saves the webapp to the homescreen and then launches it (i.e., iOS webapp mode). In webapp mode, the app does not have the traditional browser button bar with back button. So if the webapp navigates to a remote website he will be stranded there if that site does not provide a back button.

It is very simple to create an app and try it.
1) Simple create a new app add a button. In the button’s link property enter the url you want to navigate to when clicked. e.g., http://genuitec.com.
2) Be sure the Test Center is in “Strict webapp mode” (Browser menu>Strict webapp mode) before you run the webapp.
3) Run the app in the Test Center.
4) In the Test Center, save the webapp to the homescreen.
5 Relaunch the app from the homescreen and click the button.
-The remote URL should load. Can you nav back to your app from the remote site?
