jquery button to link to an external window

[Waldo_Y_]

Hi all,

I'm very new to scripting and coding so I might not get through to you guys but I hope this attempt goes straight to the point so I don't bore you. 

So I've been searching online for an example javascript  like the window.open and noticed this. https://software.intel.com/en-us/node/493021. How do you make it work to where you click on a button on a IOS app to natively open Safari to the preferred website. Can anyone show me a link or post an example so that I can try it?

Hey all I figured it out I'll just leave the coding for those who wish to find it for their own as well.

<script id="xdkJSonDeviceReady_">
      function onDeviceReady() {                                          // ignored by "Standard HTML5 web app"
            if( navigator.splashscreen && navigator.splashscreen.hide ) {   // Cordova hide splashscreen detected, use it
                navigator.splashscreen.hide() ;
            }
            
        }
        document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false) ;    // ignored by "Standard HTML5 web app"
        
        $(document).ready(function() {
            $("#facebook").bind("click", function() {
                intel.xdk.device.showRemoteSiteExt("http://www.facebook.com/merailrabeluu");
            });
        });
    </script>
    <script id="xdkJSonDeviceReady_">
      function onDeviceReady() {                                          // ignored by "Standard HTML5 web app"
            if( navigator.splashscreen && navigator.splashscreen.hide ) {   // Cordova hide splashscreen detected, use it
                navigator.splashscreen.hide() ;
            }
            
        }
        document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false) ;    // ignored by "Standard HTML5 web app"
        
        $(document).ready(function() {
            $("#twitter").bind("click", function() {
                intel.xdk.device.showRemoteSiteExt("http://www.twitter.com/merailrabeluu");
            });
        });
    </script>

Much easier to read....and works just as well: 

    <script id="xdkJSonDeviceReady_">
      function onDeviceReady() {                                          // ignored by "Standard HTML5 web app"
            if( navigator.splashscreen && navigator.splashscreen.hide ) {   // Cordova hide splashscreen detected, use it
                navigator.splashscreen.hide() ;
            }
        }
        document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false) ;    // ignored by "Standard HTML5 web app"
         
        $(document).ready(function() {
            $("#facebook").bind("click", function() {
                intel.xdk.device.showRemoteSiteExt("http://www.facebook.com/merailrabeluu");
            });
            $("#twitter").bind("click", function() {
                intel.xdk.device.showRemoteSiteExt("http://www.twitter.com/merailrabeluu");
            });
        });
    </script>

Thanks Samuel G.,

I appreciate the code. Sorry I'm not really code savvy. It's really a self taught experience for me. I read the code and  I see what you did there. Very interesting. Thanks for your help. I will update it to my file.
