openExternalUrl

OpenExternal Url allows you to open an url into the device browser, instead of the current page.

For the moment, cobalt doesn't automatically open links with target=_blank because we think you may want to open them in the app. If you disagree, please create a discussion on the bug tracker !

cobalt.openExternalUrl(url)

url is the URL of the page you want to load in the browser.

example

cobalt.openExternalUrl("http://cobaltians.com")
