Banner HTML code to link to subcategory

[ooakllc]

Hi all,
I would like a banner I've created to link to a subcategory within my store. I don't know the proper coding to make this happen.
Presently I have the banner linking to- index.php?main_page=index&cPath=4_15 -but it opens in a new window.
I need it to open as the category links do, within the site.
Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks

I have changed from a banner to a "custom sidebox" using the custom sidebox module to accomplish linking to a subcategory within my site. I still need some help with the code if anyone would like to share their expertise!

This is the code i placed in the sidebox- but it opens in a new window and I'd like it to open just like the links in the categories or information sideboxes do- in the same window.

code used in sidebox:
<?php
// -----------------------------------
// MY CUSTOM SIDE PANEL ITEM
// -----------------------------------

// test if box should be displayed
$show_In_Store_Specials = true;

if ($show_In_Store_Specials == true) {
?>

<div align="center" style="padding:5px;">
<p><strong><font color="#FF0000" size="4"><a href="/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=4_15_19" target="_blank"><em>Free Shipping on All Books</em></a></font></strong></p><b>
</div>

<?php }
?>

Help is greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

target="_blank"

This is what's forcing it to open in a new window. Delete that part so your link looks like this:

<a href="/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=4_15_19">

Namaste. Thank you for taking the time to correct my problem. The link works fine now, and I learned a little coding!
