xcode osx webview new window - webview

Question

I have a problem with webview.
I made a simple webbrowser for Osx, within I have to hide nvigation bar , menu amd right click and the user can go only in one specific url..
all this is ok but I need that allow _blank target.. i mean .. I have some link woth target _blank, so to open in a new window, but it does no work and i don't know hot to allow this.
this is my code for DataOAppDelegate.h:
#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
#import <WebKit/WebKit.h>
#interface DataOAppDelegate : NSObject <NSApplicationDelegate,NSWindowDelegate>
{WebView *WebView;
//other instance variable
}
#property (assign) IBOutlet NSWindow *window;
#property (retain, nonatomic) IBOutlet WebView *myWebView;
#end
and code for DataOAppDelegate.m
#import "DataOAppDelegate.h"
//#import <WebKit/WebKit.h>
#implementation DataOAppDelegate
#synthesize window;
#synthesize myWebView;
//your function etc
-(void)awakeFromNib{
NSString *urlText = #"http://website.com";
[[myWebView mainFrame] loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlText]]];
[myWebView setDrawsBackground:NO];
[window setDelegate:self];
}
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification
{
[myWebView setUIDelegate:self];
NSString *urlText = #"http://website.com";
[[myWebView mainFrame] loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlText]]];
}
- (WebView *)myWebView:(WebView *)sender createWebViewWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request
{
NSLog(#"sss%#",sender);
NSUInteger windowStyleMask = NSClosableWindowMask |
NSMiniaturizableWindowMask |
NSResizableWindowMask |
NSTitledWindowMask;
NSWindow* webWindow = [[NSWindow alloc] initWithContentRect:NSMakeRect(0, 0, 800, 600) styleMask:windowStyleMask backing:NSBackingStoreBuffered defer:NO];
WebView* newWebView = [[WebView alloc] initWithFrame:[webWindow contentRectForFrameRect:webWindow.frame]];
[newWebView setAutoresizingMask:NSViewWidthSizable|NSViewHeightSizable];
[webWindow setContentView:newWebView];
[webWindow center];
[webWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:self];
[[newWebView mainFrame] loadRequest:request];
return newWebView;
}
- (void)launchSoftWithBundleID:(NSString *)softPath
{
NSBundle *softBundle = [NSBundle bundleWithPath:softPath];
NSString *bundleID = [softBundle bundleIdentifier];
//
NSTask *softTask = [[NSTask alloc] init];
[softTask setLaunchPath:softPath];
[softTask launch];
//
NSArray *array = [NSRunningApplication runningApplicationsWithBundleIdentifier:bundleID];
if ([array count] > 0)
{
NSRunningApplication *runningApp = [array objectAtIndex:0];
[runningApp activateWithOptions:NSApplicationActivateIgnoringOtherApps];
}
}

WebViews have delegate methods to do so: decidePolicyForNavigationAction and decidePolicyForNewWindowAction (documentation).
- (void)webView:(WebView *)sender decidePolicyForNavigationAction:(NSDictionary *)actionInformation request:(NSURLRequest *)request frame:(WebFrame *)frame decisionListener:(id)listener {
if ([sender isEqual:self.YourVebView]) {
[listener use];
}
else {
[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] openURL:[actionInformation objectForKey:WebActionOriginalURLKey]];
[listener ignore];
}
}
- (void)webView:(WebView *)sender decidePolicyForNewWindowAction:(NSDictionary *)actionInformation request:(NSURLRequest *)request newFrameName:(NSString *)frameName decisionListener:(id<WebPolicyDecisionListener>)listener {
[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] openURL:[actionInformation objectForKey:WebActionOriginalURLKey]];
[listener ignore];
}
Note: don't forget to set the policy delegate for your WebView.
