iPad add to homepage stops site from working

Question

I'm using the IOS simulator iPad/ ISO 4.3.2 (8H7)

I'm working on a web based app for the iPad, it works fine being viewed as a webpage on my local host.

However, when I click add to homepage button and access the site via the icon on the homepage.

All the 'a' tags stop working.

EDIT: I've found another post that people mention the same issue. See the second and third posts down.

What do you mean by "all tags stop working" and did you test it on an actual device? — , Sep 14 '11 at 20:57
@WTP I don't have an iPad but I'm using the simulator that came with the latest SDK. — Philip Kirkbride, Sep 14 '11 at 21:14

The only way I have been able to get this to work is by changing all my 'a' tags to the following.

a href="javascript:this.location = 'page.php'"

For some reason when you link with javascript it stays in the same window.
