auto execute an URL

[cabernet]

Hello
I would like to know if the following is possible
Just do a very basic HTML page that contains a full path URL
such as <a href=&quot;

http://www.

etc..&quot;>
then if an user decide to reach the above described page from a menu the contained URL will auto execute without further action of the user

this is related to a news site
some news are published by my own chief editor and other are links to other newspaper that I have a deal with

In that case if a user clicks on the friendly newspaper link he or she will exit my site
by setting the link to open within my site I will keep the user on site
and I can set a back button to the original menu

What I try to avoid is a first link that goes to another page and within: A secondary link that leads to the outside news site

Any JS to do this?
Or any other solution?

By advance thank you

ADDENDUM
I did not mention that the new link needs indeed to open in the same page

due to design I may not use iframe or frames

I'll try to answer your question as I understand it....

You want to open certain &quot;friendly sites&quot; in the same
window so that you can use &quot;back&quot;..

And you want certain &quot;other&quot; sites to open in a
new window that has no &quot;back&quot;..

If you want to do that simply can you just use the
&quot;target&quot; property of the link like:
<a href=&quot;site.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;>New Page and Window</a>
which opens the link in a new browser window

The default of course if you leave off the &quot;target&quot;
property the link will be opened in your current
browser window
<a href=&quot;site.com&quot;>New Page Same Window</a>

Hope this is what you meant if not let us know.

thank you
No I cannot use frame or target
and I wish to shorten the process
if we consider any means of writing
<a href=&quot;site.com&quot;>new page</a>
we still need to click on &quot;new page&quot;
I need to find a way that will bypass the need to click on
&quot;new page&quot; so it will auto-open the page without further any user further action
please remember that I will not use frames of Iframes

thanks
