how to open the url in safari not in webview

Viewed 53703

I want to open an url in safari, outisde the app and not in webview.

I implemented the UIWebViewDelegate but I am still not able to open the url. Basically I am not able to click the url.

Below is the code:

-(void)newView:(NSString *)title Description:(NSString *)desc URL:(NSString *)url{
    webView =[[UIWebView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(15, 17, 190, 190)];
    webView.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor];
    webView.delegate=self;
    webView.opaque = NO;
    [webView loadHTMLString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"<html><body p style='color:white' text=\"#FFFFFF\" face=\"Bookman Old Style, Book Antiqua, Garamond\" size=\"5\">%@ %@</body></html>", desc,url] baseURL:nil];

    v = [[HUDView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(60, 70, 220, 220)];

    cancelButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
    cancelButton.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 30, 30);
    [cancelButton setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"closebox.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    [cancelButton addTarget:self action:@selector(cancelButtonPressed) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
    [v addSubview:cancelButton];
    [v addSubview:webView];
    [self.view addSubview:v];  
}

-(BOOL) webView:(UIWebView *)inWeb shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)inRequest navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)inType {
    if ( inType == UIWebViewNavigationTypeLinkClicked ) {
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[inRequest URL]];
        return NO;
    }

    return YES;
}
