PhoneGap, Childbrowser, and posting to Facebook

Question

I have a PhoneGap wrapped website and am trying to use the childbrowser plugin to allow someone to share a link on Facebook. After the link posts I would like to close the childbrowser window to return to the app.

cb.onLocationChange = function(loc) { 
    if (loc.indexOf("https://m.facebook.com/profile.php") >= 0) {
        window.plugins.childBrowser.close();
    }
};

I'm using onlocationChange to detect when the page is updated, however it doesn't detect the change between posting the link and going to the wall. When you are on the wall refreshing childbrowser will detect the new window and close it correctly. I want to find a way to either allow childbrowser to detect the post event to close the window, or something similar to allow the childbrowser to close without the refresh.

I also don't want to add another plugin or extension if possible.

Ideally you'd need to have a peek at the full HTML source every time a page is loaded. I use a customized version of the ChildBrowser plugin that enables you to do that (I needed that to do Google oAuth2). Even if the location URL doesn't change, the content of the page will, and that could be your cue.

EDIT

I put up my customized CB plugin on GitHub.

Nope. I don't do Objective-C. Sorry. – dda Jun 18 '12 at 15:26
Well I mean a phonegap plugin just like your slavebrowser, but that works in ios? – capdragon Jun 18 '12 at 15:36
That's my point. I hacked the Android version, in Java. But I'd have no idea where to start with the Objective-C version for iOS. – dda Jun 18 '12 at 15:40
