InAppBrowser broken?

[Robert]

Trying to open a link in the system browser (android/ have not tried on iOS) doesn't work anymore.

The code below worked on another app, but not anymore. 
        <a href="javascript:window.open(encodeURI('http://metroguide.com/lib/json/venue_redir.asp?o=mia${venue_id}'), '_system');" target="_system">
            ${company}
        </a>

It opens the in the app browser....

Help and thank you

Same issue in iOS (not working), opens link in current web view....

Please help, losing my mind.... 

[Robert]

reworked the app to the following
on the detail page
     <div id="x" data-role="button" data-click="app.openInSystemBrowser" data-u="http://metroguide.com/lib/json/venue_redir.asp?o=mia${venue_id}">${company}</div>
 
in app.js
(function (global) {
    app.openInSystemBrowser = function(e) {
       var u = $(e.target).data('u');
       window.open(u, "_system");
    }    
})(window);


if I replace window.open() with alert(u) I know the parameter is being passed correctly...

Hello Robert,

I tried to reproduce your issue, but everything works as expected.
Can you provide us the name of your project so we can take a look?

Does it work in the simulator and what is the device you are using?
Notice that devices' system browsers could vary which may lead to different behavior.
Thanks.

My apologies, it suddenly started working and I am on deadline and forgot to post back. I can't seem to get it to fail like it was. It was just opening a blank page inside the cordova webview... But now at least it's working...
