[BUG] The link opens up a blank page and should be fixed . #406

Description

@Siddh2024

📋 Description

There is a broken link on the platform that opens a completely blank page when clicked instead of directing the user to the intended destination. This disrupts the user experience and leaves dead ends in the application workflow.


🔍 Suspected Causes

  • Missing or Invalid href: The link element might have an empty href="", a typo in the URL, or a placeholder symbol (like #) combined with a target attribute that forces a new tab.
  • Incorrect Target Attribute: The link might be using target="_blank" without a valid destination URL, opening an empty browser tab (about:blank).
  • Routing Issue: If this is a client-side route, the router might be failing to resolve the path dynamically, resulting in an unrendered component view.

✨ Expected Behavior

  • The link should cleanly direct the user to the correct, functional target page.
  • If it points to an external resource, it should open properly in a new tab without stalling on a blank screen.

🚀 Implementation Checklist

  • Locate the broken link component in the codebase.
  • Verify and correct the destination URL / path routing.
  • Ensure proper use of target="_blank" paired with rel="noopener noreferrer" for security if opening externally.
  • Test the link functionality across multiple browsers.
