This is the cross platform way to do it.

function createDir(dirname){
window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0,
function(fileSys) {
fileSys.root.getDirectory(dirname, {create: true,
exclusive: false},
function(directory) {
console.log("Directory has been created");
}, createError);
}, createError);
}

function createError(error){
alert(error.code);
}

Thanks, now it works!
But im little out from this:

What exactly means "entry" in Phonegap and how i create instance from
entry?

I try to find in Phonegap API docs, but without success.

function moveFile(entry) {
var parent = document.getElementById('parent').value,
parentEntry = new DirectoryEntry({fullPath: parent});

// move the file to a new directory and rename it
entry.moveTo(parentEntry, "newFile.txt", success, fail);

}

In this case entry is an instance of FileEntry or DirectoryEntry. You can read up on them in the file section of docs.PhoneGap.com.

Thanks! Now works perfectly for dirs and files.
Great introduction is also here>
http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/file/filesystem/

But I still dont know how to write file insite www direcory, stored in
device.

Becasue is possible, that user has not sdcard inside a phone.

Thanks for Your help.

I tried something like>

function createInnerFile(filename){
window.requestFileSystem(window.PERSISTENT, 0, function(fileSys){
fileSys.root.getFile(filename, {

create: true,
exclusive: false
}, function(directory){

alert("File has been created");
}, createError);
}, createError);
}

But, not working, and dont not throw anny error.

You can't write stuff to the www directory of your app. If you want to
keep data in an application specific directory on Android use
"/sdcard/Android/data/<package name>/cache
