<p><a href="THE URL OF THE WEB PAGE YOU WANT">WHAT YOU WANT THE LINK TO SAY</a></p>

What do you mean with "text box"? An IFRAME? In that case you have to give it a name using the 'name' attribute.

Then, in the link, refer to the name you've given the IFRAME with help of the 'target' attribute.

<a href="page.html" target="name_of_iframe">Page</a>

If you mean something else than a frame/iframe, you can't load other pages in it.

I think this is what you needed. Just edit the spacing if you want depending on your design.

<form method="post" action="">
<textarea name="comments" cols="40" rows="5">
Enter your comments here...
</textarea><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

I hope this would help you.
