Android Question Open a hyperlink on a page in another webview

[appie21]

Hello

I have 2 webviews
In one of the webviews there is loading a page with a hyperlink

<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="left">
<a href="https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/" target="_blank" style="color: yellow">Open site</a>
</a>

If I click the link the page will open in the same webview as where the hyperlink is.

What i want is that when i click the hyperlink it open the link in the second webview

i don't know if your wish is possible but if you can use frames u can use one webview.
you can set the target to the frame name.

maybe a solution via java script

Use the OverrideURL callback of webview and load the url into the second webview:

Sub WebView1_OverrideUrl(Url As String) As Boolean
    WebView2.LoadUrl(Url)
    Return True  'Return True to make webview1 ignore the link
End Sub

thats easy
i saw this event even but the description for it is a little bit hidden in the webview description itself.
GotoUrl or GotoUrlValidate would be more intuitive
