You need to place something to click between the <a href...> and </a>.

You mean automatically invoke the shopping cart when you load an html
page? Well, you can mix php and html if you wish, just call your html
page <name>.php, and it will be processed as php, for instance like this:
foo.php:
<html>
<head><title>This is a sample</title></head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome</h1>
<?php
if ($_GET["foo"] = "something")
echo "Excellent, dude!";
?>
<p>This is an html-page paragraph</p>
</body>
</html>
Alternatively, use JavaScript in the page to, eg. fire up a popup window
(do a search for "javascript" and "popup"), and that can source the
cart. You can also do something with frames, etc. It will really very
much depend on what you want to achieve.
