Is there an easy way to modify this code so that the target URL opens in the SAME window?
<a href="javascript:q=(document.location.href);void(open('http://example.com/submit.php?url='+escape(q),'','resizable,location,menubar,toolbar,scrollbars,status'));">click here</a>``

To open a new tab, we have to use _blank in the second parameter of the window. open() method. The return value of window. open() is a reference to the newly created window or tab or null if it failed.
If you drag a tab out of an existing window and release it, it opens in its own window. Press "Ctrl-Shift-T" to open the last tab that you closed. Right-clicking on a link opens the page in a new tab. Alternatively, click on the link by pressing the center button or scroll wheel on your mouse.
In HTML, <a> tag is used to open URL on browser's window. The href attribute allows to add a hyperlink to the <a> tag and redirect one page to another. By default, the URL is opened in the same window. So, you don't need to define any attribute in <a> tag to open URL in the same tab or window.
<script type="text/javascript"> window.open ('YourNewPage.htm','_self',false) </script> see reference: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_win_open.asp

The second parameter of window.open() is a string representing the name of the target window.
Set it to: "_self".
<a href="javascript:q=(document.location.href);void(open('http://example.com/submit.php?url='+escape(q),'_self','resizable,location,menubar,toolbar,scrollbars,status'));">click here</a>
Sidenote: The following question gives an overview of an arguably better way to bind event handlers to HTML links.
What's the best way to replace links with js functions?
