Open Safari?

In many apps, you're able to click on a logo or link of some sort which makes the current app close and brings up safari with some webpage.

how is this done?

try this,

Code:

NSURL *url = [ [ NSURL alloc ] initWithString: @"http://www.cnn.com" ];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];

"Doesn't work, any other suggestions?"

**Edit** Never mind. It doesnt work if you don't include the "http://". I added it and it worked.

Thanks a ton!
