Hey guys,

I have a UIWebView which I'm using as an embedded browser within my app.

I've noticed that links in webpages that open new windows are ignored without any call into my code.

I've tried breakpointing on

- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType

and then selecting a link that would open a popup window, and the breakpoint is never hit. Is there anything I can do to intercept that selection of the popup link and get the URL and just load it normally?

I'm not interested in displaying a popup window in the app itself, I just want the URL of whatever is going to be loaded in the popup window to load in the main webview itself.

Is this possible?

Thanks!
