Trigger link to new screen from inside UIwebview?

Accepted Answer

here is a webview with a link that fires an event

var webView = Ti.UI.createWebView({
            height : '100%',
            width : '100%'
        });
var htmlStr = "<a href='#' onclick=\"Ti.App.fireEvent('calledFromWebView',{val:10});\">click me</a>";
webView.html =  "<html><body>" + htmlStr + "</body></html>";

here is an application event listener that will capture the event

Ti.App.addEventListener('calledFromWebView', function(data) {
    Ti.API.log("From WebView " + data.val);
});

notice how the data is passed back to the event, this allows you to get information from the webView back into your application

output in the log should be

[INFO] From WebView 10
