    <p>I am developing a web app. I am trying to disable most of the default iOS Safari behavior on links so I set the "-webkit-touch-callout" CSS property on the links to "none". However, I still notice that if I hold my finger on a link for a second or so, then drag it, then let go of it, the link will open in a new window. I don't want this behavior. I would like it to either open in the same window, or do nothing at all. Does anyone know how to make this happen?</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> I am using jQuery so it is OK to use jQuery's event-handling functions if that will simplify things.</p> <p><strong>EDIT 2:</strong> For some links, I am using handlers to override their default behavior. For example: </p> <pre><code>$(".categoryList a").live("click", function(e) { e.preventDefault(); $.get( "someOtherUrl", {someVariable: "someValue"}, function(result) { $(".result").html(render(result)); } ); }); </code></pre> <p>My actual code is more complicated than this but my point is that I am overriding the default click action on some links and <strong>whatever solution I use to fix this problem should not interfere with these handlers</strong>. Sanooj's solution does not work for my purposes because the "window.location" assignment always redirects the browser regardless of whether I have any handlers to prevent this behavior. Maybe I arguably shouldn't use links for this purpose but this is how the app was before I started working on it and changing this would be a big project. I am wondering if there is an easier and simpler way to fix this.</p>

    1. COI hope you're developing a strictly internal app for some company, and not trying to break some random web user's browser's functionalities.

    2. COIt is an internal app. Right now, it wouldn't work properly with 2 windows open and it would be confusing to have one window open within our app and another open in Safari. We may fix that some day but it is not a top priority. I am not aware of anyone doing this drag gesture on our app on purpose.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
