Have you added the external URLs to the whitelist? There is a file in /res/xml in your project called PhoneGap.xml

Here is an example of one of my PhoneGap.xml files:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<phonegap>
    <access origin="http://127.0.0.1*"/>
    <access origin="http://devgeeks.org"/>
    <access origin="http://*.phonegap.com"/>
    <log level="DEBUG"/>
</phonegap>

Opening an external link in phonegap / android is only possible two ways: Source: https://build.phonegap.com/blog/access-tags

check blogpost of phonegap. They're explaining what the android default is, and what you can do about it.

Follow the discussing on the phonegap forum: http://community.phonegap.com/nitobi/topics/make_links_use_external_broswer_consistently

Edit:

  1. Add the following code to your config.xml.

     <access origin="http://www.domain.com" browserOnly="true" />

  2. Add:

     function loadURL(url){ 
    navigator.app.loadUrl(url, { openExternal:true }); 
 }

  3. Add:

     <a onclick="loadURL('http://www.domain.com')" href="#">Url</a>

The access xml helped me. You can use the navigator.app.loadUrl function to get the url loaded in the current webview - look in the cordova.js file for details of the options
