Is there an easy way to modify this code so that the target URL opens in the SAME window?

<a href='javascript:q=(document.location.href);void(open('http://example.com/submit.php?url='+escape(q),'','resizable,location,menubar,toolbar,scrollbars,status'));'>click here</a>``

  1. The second parameter of window.open() is a string representing the name of the target window.

    Set it to: ‘_self’.

    <a href='javascript:q=(document.location.href);void(open('http://example.com/submit.php?url='+escape(q),'_self','resizable,location,menubar,toolbar,scrollbars,status'));'>click here</a>

    Sidenote: The following question gives an overview of an arguably better way to bind event handlers to HTML links.

    What’s the best way to replace links with js functions?
