Opening a link in web browser

Yes so many workarounds I found over Net, thank Google. None of them worked! I'm gonna list them here:

1- Using data-rel attribute, setting value to external

2- Installing cordova InAppBrowser plugin as well as adding onclick attribute onclick="window.open('http://www.google.com', '_system'); return false;" to the respective a tag

3- Checking whether or not cordova.js, cordova_plugins.js are existed & included in relevant html file

They were the most suggested ideas I found on Stackoverflow like this one and the other forums. Yet it's opened within app window!

I appreciate your help.

Using phonegap without jquery-mobile and having the InAppBrowser plugin installed I can view a link using:

window.open(encodeURI('https://www.google.co.uk/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=jxvBVKuLIOqD0AXI74CACQ#q=woop'), '_system', 'location=yes');

If you are trying to open a link of a .pdf file it will download it to the device. Hope that helps.
