title: Chrome Extension: How do i open urls in popup.html in the same tab
body: <p>Google Chrome extension:</p>
  
  <p>i am running mad on a simple thing. Please dont blame me, i am not english origin and i have trouble to read and understand all the extension docs.</p>
  
  <p>I simply want to do the following:</p>
  
  <p>I have lets say 8 different URLs in my popop.html which opens when i click on my icon in the top right browserbar.<br>
  (url) example.com<br>
  (url) Other Example and etc ...  </p>
  
  <p>clicking an url does nothing, <code>target="_blank"</code> opens always a new tab but i want to open them all in the same tab when clicking on one. <code>target="_top"</code> or <code>target="_self"</code> doesnt seem work here.</p>
  
  <p>I have no idea how to program this. I come rather from php and i need a quick solution. </p>
  
  <p>Has anyone a litte ready (easy to understand) code snippet or an Idea how to open my urls in the same tab ? (where to place what) 
  ( i understood the manifest definitions so far, but all this java up and down is too difficult to understand for me at the moment only for this "simple" task).</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in Advance
  RJ</p>
