[somewhat OT] dumb html / cgi question

Anchors are not fetched from the server, but navigated to on the same  
page, so the browser does everything itself. Just use an anchored link  
as specified in the html source of your choice (mine is: http://w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp 
  ), and the browser of your users will handle the rest.
