PhoneGap: Open external link in default browser (outside the app)

Question

I\'m trying to open links in Safari (on an iPhone) from a PhoneGap application. I\'m using PhoneGap version 3.1.0, and use PhoneGap Build, to build the application.

Answer 1

Instead of target="_blank", use target="_system" for the links you wish to open in an external browser (outside of the app). Then when clicking these links, your device will switch from your app to the system's browser app (ie. Safari or Chrome) to open the link.
