Answer 1

Have you added the domains of the external links to the ExternalHosts entry in PhoneGap.plist ?

There is a fairly new whitelisting system in PhoneGap that is causing a bit of confusion with external links

From - http://wiki.phonegap.com/ :

"Also, the latest code has the new white-list feature. If you are referencing external hosts, you will have to add the host in PhoneGap.plist under the "ExternalHosts" key. Wildcards are ok. So if you are connecting to "http://phonegap.com", you have to add "phonegap.com" to the list (or use the wildcard "*.phonegap.com" which will match subdomains as well)."
