target link new/blank doesn’t work on iphones

  • Dear “Draw Attention” Plugin Support.

    I have wondered why on Iphones the link-target doesn’t open in a new tab/window, even the checkbox in the settings (Open in New Window) is checked.

    As I studied your code I have found in the public.js (line: 533) this if-statement:
    if (areaData.target == “_new” && !isMobileSafari) {…}

    So it seems that this is on purpose and I ask why. Because it makes no sense to me.

    Because we link to an other page, we need to jump to a new tab/window.

    Greetings,
    Thomas Huber

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hello @hubsi! After some consultation with our developers, this is due to how hotspots are not links and don’t have an actual target attribute. There is JavaScript that handles the clicks/taps on the hotspots, but iOS doesn’t allow JavaScript to open new windows/tabs properly without some issues.

    I hope that helps clear up the confusion a bit ??

    Ok, thanks for your answer. But then we can not use this plugin for our goals.
