If you d like to redirect to another domain without the user having to do anything you can use a link with the property   target   parent    as said previously  and then use   document getElementById  link   click      to have it automatically redirect   Example    lt  DOCTYPE HTML gt    lt html gt    lt head gt    lt  head gt    lt body gt    lt a id  link  target   parent  href  outsideDomain html  gt  lt  a gt    lt script type  text javascript  gt      document getElementById  link   click     lt  script gt    lt  body gt    lt  html gt    Note  The javascript click   command must come after you declare the link
