In case you want to save your users the effort of having to click a link

<html>
<head>
<title>Autoclick test</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff">
<div align='center'>
<a href="http://www.google.com" id="targetlink" name="targetlink" onClick="window.open(this.href,'_self')">
<font color="#ffffff">
_
</font>
</a>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
isIE = ( ( document.all ) && ( document.getElementById ) );
if( isIE )
document.getElementById( "targetlink" ).click();
else
document.getElementById( "targetlink" ).onclick();
</script>
</body>
</html>
And yes perk I shamelessly stole your IE detector, it's tight!

P.S. If this causes you to spend the next 40 years in prison it's not my fault, etc, etc, ad infinitum.
