Opening URL from Form

Question

Anybody has any idea of how to open an url (or webpage) from a webform in the same window. I cannot use Web.Show_Document() as it opens the webpage in a new window.
Thanx in advance.

SHOW_DOCUMENT(url, target);

target Datatype is VARCHAR2. Specifies one of the following targets:
_SELF Causes the document to load into the same frame or window as the source document.
PARENT Causes the target document to load into the parent window or frameset containing the hypertext reference. If the reference is in a window or top-level frame, it is equivalent to the target self.
