I'm stuck. I'm working on a iOS phonegap app. On my homepage I have a link 

<a href="http://www.mysite.com/file/news.html" rel="external" target="_system"><IMAGE></a>

And I have also added *mysite.com into the Cordova.plist (ExternalHosts).

But when I click on the link it will open up a browser and link me to that page. I have tried target="_self", but it doesn't work. How to make it open the page within the app itself?

You can push it to browser using this javascript snip,

window.open("http://yourexternallink.com","_system");

Even if you have inAppBrowser installed, this will take you to browser..

If you wish to open the link inside your app, you need below snippet,

var onInApp = window.open('http://paymentpage.com', '_blank', 'location=no,hidden=yes,closebuttoncaption=Done,toolbar=no');

make sure that you added cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-inappbrowser plugin..

  • setting hidden to no made it work, and it work better than the other answer, i edit it for you, you can accept or reject once you check – Hassan Faghihi Jan 13 '16 at 06:44
  • If you are sure about the answer please edit... This was posted months ago and number of versions released after that.. thanks – Vinith Jan 13 '16 at 12:00
  • i'm sure, also another way is to say the browser to become visible later, but normally you wont see a thing by using above code. you need to edit, or approve my edit as i already done that – Hassan Faghihi Jan 13 '16 at 12:05
  • Please refer this link, you'll get more idea, https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.0.0/cordova/inappbrowser/inappbrowser.html – Vinith Feb 24 '16 at 07:11

Use inApp Browser link

The InAppBrowser is a web-browser that is shown in your app when you use the window.open call.

in ios add

<plugin name="InAppBrowser" value="CDVInAppBrowser" /> to config.xml and just call window.open('http://apache.org', '_blank', 'location=yes'); etc.. more info link
