Answer to fit the successful comment:

The function load() should return a value true or false, since it is in the onclick handler of a <a tag. Since load() does not return anything, the result is browser dependent.

Just return true in load() to activate the anchor redirect

function load(div_tag,thefile)
{
    ...
    xmlhttp.open('GET', thefile, true);
    xmlhttp.send();

    return true;
}
