iFrame links to open using _system instead of withing iframe or inAppBrowser

Is it possible to force open iFrame links using _system? I have full control of both the app and the site reference in the iFrame. Links within the iframe use the following syntax [url=http://#]Test Link[/url]. This link open to the appropriate location however it appears to open in the inappbrowser and not the system default. The other option I attempted to do was to attempt to do a xmlhttp.responseText; to a container div by setting the .innerHTML to the responseText; however it does not appear as if that is allowed due to cross domains and responseText was always blank. Same with calling a javascript parent.function from the link. The reason I want default browser is due to the lack of zoom capability with the inappbrowser. Note: tried a rel="nofollow"Test Link/a but that just opens inappbrowser with non of those options enabled.

Is this something that is possible or am I chasing a unicorn here?

Looks like code was changed to links in my original post so here goes again.

atag onclick="window.open(URL, '_system'); return false;"Test Link

atag onclick="window.open(URL, '_blank', 'EnableViewPortScale=yes', 'resizable=yes', 'titlebar=yes'); return false;"Test Link</atag

Hi Nir,

Following code works only in cordova context.

pre

window&#46;open("xxxxx", "_system");

/pre

Iframe has not this context. Thus you can not use such code in iframe.

You need to run this code from the app context. So you need to pass somehow needed event to app context.

Please read more about cross domain manipulation in internet. For example here: http://community.phonegap.com/nitobi/...
