How to launch a browser with a given URL within the same tab

Question

Here is some code to launch S60 browser with a given url.

  // use the StartDocument api
  param->Des().Format( _L( "4 %S" ),&aUrl );
  TUid id( TUid::Uid( browserUid ) );
  TApaTaskList taskList( CEikonEnv::Static()->WsSession() );
  TApaTask task = taskList.FindApp( id );
  if ( task.Exists() ) {
    HBufC8* param8 = HBufC8::NewL( param->Length() );
    param8->Des().Append( *param );
    task.SendMessage( TUid::Uid( 0 ), *param8 ); 
    // Uid is not used // CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(); // param8
  }
  else {
    RApaLsSession appArcSession;
    User::LeaveIfError( appArcSession.Connect() ); // connect to AppArc server
    TThreadId id;
    appArcSession.StartDocument( *param, TUid::Uid(browserUid), id );
    appArcSession.Close();
  }

However, this seems to open a new tab for each URL, and if number of tabs reaches internal WebKit limit (5), it will raise an error, saying that maximum number of pop-up windows have been reached. Is there any workaround for this? Is it possible to open the native S60 browser within the same one tab?

You might like to try the Browser Launcher API instead. Example here on Forum Nokia and API downloads are here.
