Hi, I’m working on a project which is intended to be used as a web app on mobile devices. The index page is working perfectly, displaying its content in full-screen mode. My problem is that clicking on any of the links to individual content pages opens them in a new tab on iPhones with a title bar and done button at the top of the screen and toolbar at the bottom, neither of which are wanted. I would know how to prevent this happening had the links simply been \<a href\> html tags by creating an onClick listener and preventing the default action, but Bubble creates onClick event listeners to open links and I’m not certainly that I have the access to modify those. Does anyone have any suggestions how I should proceed?
