# in url not considered in Touch UI author editing mode

[selvaganesh]

I have some urls having # in authoring page. The part after # in the URL is not recognized in authoring mode in touch UI and hence the functionality is breaking. Is there any way to recognize # in touch UI. 

Works fine in classic UI

Hi,

Can you confirm how exactly you're trying to use the # ?

Is it as part of a link - and when you're editing the page (with the touch-optimized UI) you cannot navigate to such a link?

If so, then you'll have to switch to Preview mode. Links are not accessible in the Edit mode. See:

• http://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-0/author/page-authoring/editing-content.html

and

• http://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-0/author/page-authoring/editing-content.html#Previewing%20Pages%...

I hope that helps, if not feel free to contact us again - preferably with an example of your URL and the behaviour you're seeing.

Seems like touch ui is html5 based. I am able to navigate to URL from links inside the page in preview mode rather than hitting the URL directly

I have angular application in AEM. It has # in its url and renders pages based on the url after #.

Could you please provide some details, in case further people encounter the same kind of issue?

I have asked the Engineering group that deal with this to have a look. They should respond as soon as possible.

The issue is now marked as resolved.

Did you figure out the solution or do you need further help?
