title: Cordova Visual Studio 2012 Express for Windows Phone: Open External PDF URL
body: <p>I am developing a Windows Phone 8 application using HTML5 and JavaScript through PhoneGap. Within the application, there is a list of items that links to an URL to a PDF document. The app need to open the URL on tap event.</p>
  
  <p>For some reason, the JavaScript window.open(...) will not do anything. The tap event is triggered correctly, because I could alert message the correct URL.</p>
  
  <p>Am I missing anything? Or it is not possible to open external URL in Windows Phone 8 app?</p>
  
  <p>I am using Visual Studio 2012 Express with Windows Phone SDK 8.0. The Visual Studio has Cordova project plugin installed. Cordova version: 2.6.0.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you. </p>
