            <h1>PhoneGap</h1>
            <div id="deviceready" class="blink">
                <p class="event listening">Connecting to Device</p>
                <h2><a href="https://google.com">Fiberon</a></h2>
                <p class="event received">Device is Ready</p>

        </div>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="cordova.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="js/index.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">

Note, I do not want to open external link in other browser or app browsre, Just want to load that other external urls. It does not works in Android for me.

Thanks in Advance!

The last meta tag in your html is responsible for that. Remove it or modify it to your requirement to make your code works — Rajaprabhu Aravindasamy, Feb 07 '16 at 09:09
i am not sure if internet access permission is required. Just to link another external page. It used to work fine in old phonegap. Since, i have the phonegap has updated it does not works. — Ashok Shah, Feb 07 '16 at 09:15
Are you seeing any errors in your console? while clicking on that element — Rajaprabhu Aravindasamy, Feb 07 '16 at 09:17
undefined No Content-Security-Policy meta tag found. Please add one when using the cordova-plugin-whitelist plugin. — Ashok Shah, Feb 07 '16 at 09:33
