open in the same window

I'm trying to make a popup. The code I pasted below works, but my problem
is, that I want the http://www.mypage.com to open in the same browser
window. So I need something instead of window.open(). Window.location shows
the content of http://www.mypage.com when is called like this inside the
body
<script language="javascript">

window.location = http://www.mypage.com;
</script>

But when it is called in the way presented below, doesn't want to work. I
need to call the function opening the window. I don't want to have the link
in href to prevent some crawlers to follow the link.


<html>
<head>
</head>
<script language="javascript">
function gotoLink(url){
window.open(url,'');
<!-- window.location = url; -->

}
</script>
<body>
<script>

</script>

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onClick="gotoLink('http://www.mypage.com');">
<img src ="ad.jpg" border=no ></a>
</body>
</html>

thanks

If you don't want the link in the HREF to be followed, your
onclick handler should return false. In this case, the link
in your HREF says to stay on the current page.

onclick="gotoLink('http://www.mypage.com');return false"
