Description

I am using Cordova 3.4.1 on iOS with the InAppBrowser plugin version 0.4.0.

When I have an <a href="...." target="_blank"> element, it is supposed to open in the InAppBrowser but it doesn't. Instead in replaces my app in the CordovaWebView and I have no way of getting back to the app.

if I do window.open it seems to work fine, but it isn't really feasible for me to add onclick handlers to all my links to then open them up in the InAppBrowser.
