What's wrong with my javascript code to open my url in same window with input value included?

Question

I want to open the url in the same window, my code below works fine if i open the url in another tab, but when i added the _self target to open it in the same window, it doesn't working :/ where is my error?

<input type="text" name="url" id="url" value="brad.jpg" onclick="this.value=''" /><br/><br/>
<input type="submit"  onclick="javascript: window.open('http://MyURL.net/' + document.getElementById('url').value, '_self');">

Use the browser console (dev tools) (hit F12) and read any errors. — Sebastian Simon

Extracted the code into a function and it works fine:

function callSubmit() {
  window.open('http://MyURL.net/' + document.getElementById('url').value, '_self');
}

<input type="text" name="url" id="url" value="brad.jpg" onclick="this.value=''" /><br/><br/>
<input type="submit" onclick="callSubmit()">
