<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
    function loadlink()
    {
        window.open("www.cnn.com");
    }
</script>
</head>
<body onload="loadlink()">        
</body>
</html>

Answer 1

Make your function look like this:

function loadlink() {
  window.location.href = "www.cnn.com";
}

Answer 2

Or even better

function loadlink() {
    if (typeof (window.open) == "function") {
        window.open("http://www.stackoverflow.com");
    }
    else {
        window.location.href = "http://www.stackoverflow.com";
    }
}

Since Internet Explorer don't like very much with window.location.href
