Hello @Nandheswara 

 

The Anchor links are the HTML behavior. Please verify following:

 

1. The Anchor "#<id>" and id of the element are configured and available in HTML.

2. You are not getting any java script errors in browser console.

Hi @Nandheswara 
Where is the target element with the id? where you jump when click on this anchor link.

There are potential reasons why anchor links might not be working correctly in AEM 6.5. Here are a few things to check:

  • Make sure the anchor ID is correct. The anchor ID is the part of the URL that comes after the #. It should be the same as the ID of the element you want to link to. For example, if you want to link to an element with the ID section2, the anchor ID would be #section2.
  • Make sure the element with the anchor ID is visible. If the element is hidden, the anchor link will not be able to find it.
  • Make sure there is no JavaScript interfering with the anchor links. Some JavaScript libraries can interfere with anchor links. If you are using any JavaScript libraries, try disabling them temporarily to see if that fixes the problem.
  • Make sure the clientlibs are included. The clientlibs are the JavaScript and CSS files that are needed for the anchor links to work. Make sure that the clientlibs are included in the page that you are using the anchor links on.
  • Clear your browser's cache. Sometimes, cached browser data can interfere with anchor links. Try clearing your browser's cache to see if that fixes the problem.

If you have checked all of these things and you are still having problems, you may need to contact Adobe support for further assistance.
