Hyperlink as a command action

We are attempting to design a web page as a control front end for devices. To
do this we create a hyperlink to send the html command that triggers the
device. This part works. The problem we are having is when the link is
clicked to perform the action it also opens a blank page. What we would like
it to be able to click on the button with the underlying hyperlink and have
the html command sent, but stay on the same page.

Any help is appreciated.
 
Thank you for the info. Tried to set the target to blank, but now instead of
returning just a plain empty screen the screen comes back with a windows
internet browser screen and the command is shown in the address bar. The
command does still function.

Not familar with AJAX. We are not publishing the page to a server, but just
to a folder on the PC. Don't know if that means anything, but in terms of
using AJAX someone mentioned that the page will need to be posted on a server.

Again, appreciate the help
