---------------------------------------------------------------
Cordova app on Windows itself doesn't runs in WebView, it gets executed
directly as native code, so, unlike the other platforms, there is no concept of
Cordova WebView on Windows. Due to this and platform restrictions,
cordova-windows doesn't support navigation to remote pages. The only way to
navigate to remote page - open it in iframe/webview ({{InAppBrowser.open}} with
{{_blank}} option).
The code above will work as you expected only in case of navigating to bundled
page using {{ms-appx:///}} schema. For reference see
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh780594.aspx and

> Key: CB-9049
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9049
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Plugin InAppBrowser
> Environment: Windows 8.1
> Reporter: Babak Vahdat
> Assignee: Vladimir Kotikov
>
> According to the
> [documentation|https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-inappbrowser#supported-platforms]
> Windows 8.1 WebView is supported by this plugin. Now given the following
> simple code inside {{index.html}}
> {code}
> <body>
> <button id='launch'>Go to Google</button>
> <script src='cordova.js'></script>
> <script>
> document.addEventListener('deviceready', function() {
> document.querySelector('#launch').addEventListener('click', function() {
> cordova.InAppBrowser.open('http://www.google.ch', '_self',
> 'location=no');
> }, false);
> }, false);
> </script>
> </body>
> {code}
> Clicking the button above inside the WebView results in a new _browser_
> window being opened pointing to {{http://www.google.ch}}. However my
> understanding is, given the target value as {{_self}} and the following
> whitelist entry inside {{config.xml}}
> {code}
> <access origin="*" />
> {code}
> The site should open inside the WebView _itself_.
