fancyapps/fancyBox — Issue #139: FancyBox iframe breaking iOS standalone web apps

When the 'apple-mobile-web-app-capable' meta tag set to yes, the browser chrome is removed and the app tries to run full screen. FancyBox pulls up an iFrame correctly, but when you click any link inside the iFrame, it busts out of the mobile web app and loads the app in the Safari browser instead.

There is a known fix for links in standalone apps pulling up in Safari, but this fix breaks FancyBox and I haven't been able to make them work together. More details on that fix here: https://gist.github.com/1042026/8b8beac9336fb7f9a8db582e698baa1fc495871f

Is there any way to have FancyBox retain it's functionality within a mobile web app like this and so that it does not take you out of the app and into Safari?

Thanks,
