Well, you don't do that with an anchor tag usually. There are two ways, one is to use a Metatag with a refresh entry, and the other is to throw a 302 header with the header command like so:

header("location: http://server.domain.com/url.html");

Note that a header 302 will NOT display a page, then go to another page, it will simply go straight to the other page, so may not be what you need. Note also that it has to be the very first thing to create any output on the page.

The meta refresh tag looks like this and goes inside the <HEAD></HEAD> tages:

I think there's also a way to do this with JavaScript... something like onLoad="top.location(...)"... sorry I can't come up with all the details right this minute :-)

Andre, you need something like this JavaScript function, which I would attribute to the author if I knew where I found it originally... here it is copied from a code snippet I have laying around:

function loadLink(cUrl1,cFrame1) {
parent.frames[cFrame1].location = cUrl1
}

then to use:

<A href="javascript:loadLinks($filename, $framename)">Click here to load the frame $framename with the file $filename</a>
