[Qt-interest] Launching new browser from within QtWebKit

[sarvesh saran]

Hi,

I remember facing this same issue a long time ago. You can try the following
:

webView->page()->setLinkDelegationPolicy(QWebPage::DelegateAllLinks);

connect(webView, SIGNAL(linkClicked(const QUrl&)), this, SLOT
(onUrlClicked(const QUrl&)));

in the slot, use  QDesktopServices::openUrl  to open the url in your default
browser:

http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/qdesktopservices.html#openUrl

( if using Linux, you can try and check if $BROWSER env variable is
set...and then use QProcess to open that browser, passing the Url as a
command line arg)

thanks,
Sarvesh Saran
