link not working by clicking, only work by “Open link in new tab” command

Question

I meet this interesting situation:

    @foreach (var item in Model)
    {
      

        

        

Answer 1

I came across this issue in ReactJS after using JS to set the href property of a link. I solved it using a useState hook for what the link should be.

Answer 2

Correctly given by Darren, it is definitely some javascript code that is sending an AJAX request (post or get) that is preventing the link from functioning as you would expect.

However, if you've used an external resource, it might be difficult to correct the error in the min files.

I suggest use a jquery onclick event inline to circumvent the AJAX call

<a href="http://foo.bar/" onclick="window.open('https://www.foo.bar/culrsteam')">Foo</a>

You could additionally use window.open('https://www.foo.bar/culrsteam', '_blank') like with target='_blank'
