Allow-navigation prevents urls to be opened from mobile's browser

Hi everybody,
I encountered a strange problem, and not sure if it persisted in older iOS versions.

If you want to open a URL on click inside mobile’s default browser, you would probably do something like this: <a href="https://www.formstack.com" /> and it works just fine.
The problem occurs if the URL is added to config.xml allow-navigation I.E <allow-navigation href="https://www.formstack.com/" />. It would just open URL inside CURRENT webview and not inside mobile’s browser.

Has anyone had the same problem or is this normal behaviour?
Thanks

Hi, anyone had the same issue? Maybe I wasn’t so clear in the previous post: The problem is that I can’t open URLs in device’s default browser if I added these URLs in config.xml allow-navigation tag.

Thanks for the reply. I can’t use InApp Browser as the HTML content with <a href=""/> tags is retrieved from the service. I just inject that HTML content using innerHtml property.
