UIWebView doesn't open target="_blank" links.

If you are using UIImageView to display external webpages, you may come across an issue where certain links don't fire UIWebViewNavigationTypeLinkClicked events. This happens when the link has the target="_blank" attribute.

To work around this problem you can inject some javascript after the page load to remove this attribute from all the links:

- (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView {
        NSString *js = @"\
        var d = document.getElementsByTagName('a');\
        for (var i = 0; i < d.length; i++) {\
            if (d[i].getAttribute('target') == '_blank') {\
                d[i].removeAttribute('target');\
            }\
        }\
        ";

        [webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:js];
}
