HTML Link without clicking

How can I link to another URL when my web page opens without clicking on "link"?
I'm just learning html and understand how to link using the anchor and href.
Example:

<html>

<body>



<p>

<a href="http://msm/com">

Click Here </a> 

</p>



</body>

</html>

How can I get my webpage to open the link without having to have the "Click Here" present?

Re: HTML Link without clicking

You can either use a refresh meta-tag or you can set window.location in javascript.

Here is the javascript solution:

<html>

<head>

   <script type="text/javascript">window.location="http://msm.com";</script>

</head>

</html>

Here is the REFRESH solution:

<html>

<head> 

  <META http-equiv="refresh" content="1;URL=http://msm.com">

</head>

<body>

    REDIRECTING YOU.... 

</body>

</html>
