title: Calling client side URL from browser without opening new page
body: <p>I'm trying to create a button that will dial an IP Phone by visiting a URL string:</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://admin:password@192.168.0.20/cgi-bin/ConfigManApp.com?Id=34&amp;Command=1&amp;Number=0123456789
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When entering directly into the browser, the page returns a 1 and dials the IP phone.</p>
  
  <p>On my website I can create a simple  link that when clicked, visits this page in a new window.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way of visiting this page without the user seeing that it opens?</p>
