how to resolve this ...

Answer 1

The onclick attribute in HTML needs to contain valid Javascript code.

What you have there is likely to produce something like:

<a href="#" onclick="/abc/foo?type=mytype">Link</a>

which will cause you problems because the browser can't run that as Javascript. If you let us know what you're trying to achieve then we can help you work out the right way to do it.
