The contents of an event handler are always Javascript, and the string
"<script>" is a syntax error in Javascript. Do this instead:

onClick="window.location='page.html'"

by doing that it will still open a new browser window, isn't there a
way to keep it in the same window?

window.location=url shouldn't open a new window. It should change the
current window's location.

window.open() is used for opening new windows.

Browsers can override these settings, however. Maybe an option is set
to open all links in separate windows/tabs.

LOL. Think before you post, people.

It should be onclick="location.href = 'page.html'". Window.location is
an object.

If you want the new page to replace the current page in the history,
use location.replace(url).

In saying that, you are simply confirming that you didn't even try it.

Assigning to window.location replaces the contents of the current browser
window. It does not open a new one.
