I created a self-hosted website powered by a Raspberry Pi and Apache2. In my html file I used following line to display a link to another webpage:

<p>Map link: <a title="MyTitle" href="page.domain.com" target="_blank">displayed_link</a></p>

This shows (non functional link):

displayed_link

Whenever I click the link on my website though, it opens a new tab like it should with the target="_blank" attribute, but it shows about:blank in my browsers URL-field and no page content. Only when I click into the URL-field and hit ENTER, it actually loads the URL specified in href="page.domain.com".

Is this just me, writing bad html code or is it maybe my browser not loading the link on purpose?

I am using the latest apache2 version and Google Chrome as my browser. The webserver uses the http protocol on port 80.

The href attribute takes a URL als value. page.domain.com is not a valid URL.

Try putting href="https://page.domain.com/" in your <a> tag instead.
