Anchor tag not working on touch device

Hi,
I'm having a problem on one of my SharePoint sites.I add following anchor tag to my page
<a href="https://www.google.com">test<a>
When using the mouse there is no problem but when using a touch device (windows 8.1/windows Phone 8.1) there is a problem with tapping the link. When you tap on a link, it will highlight the link rather than opening the link. It takes repeated attempts to
make the link work.
This makes the site unusable on Windows Phone 8!
When I use Chrome to access my site on my windows 8 tablet... everything works as expected!!!
I have another SharePoint site that uses the same base template (OSLO) and is quite similar but that doesn't have the problem. As you can imagine, comparing two SharePoint sites for this is like looking for  a needle in a haystack.
Has anyone experienced this and/or knows the solution?
Best Regards,
Peter
EDIT: if anyone runs into this issue... I worked arround the problem by adding a javascript to the onclick event that will navigate to the url. It seems the javascript does execute, whereas the href itself is ignored on touch screens. By setting href and
onclick on each anchor I'm hoping to avoid any downsides for desktop users. It is a hack at best... so i would still like to hear it if there's another way.

Hi,
I add the anchor tag into the page using SharePoint designer 2013 and test in my Windows Phone, it does work.
If add the link from my content editor web part or from ribbon, two clicks or more would be required. 
Best Regards

  • Href anchor tags not working

    I am trying to add anchor tags into a webpage to enable us to link to specific sections of a rather long page.
    I am using <a name="name"> which works in Chrome, Safari and IE, however in Firefox, it is constantly reloading the page.
    An example of this is here http://www.sippcentre.co.uk/infocentre/Article/news-views-december-13#soft-closed
    Am I doing something wrong?

    Sorry, I thought this was just a message board for all types of queries.
    The tag has been coded with the following:
    <div style="font-size: 1.8em; color: #c1002b;"><a name="soft-closed"></a>Soft-closed funds</div>

  • Anchor tags not working in FF

    Hello, I am new to website design and creation and I am having a rather weird problem. I originally designed my website using Google Chrome (which I will not do again). My website works fine in Chrome but certain links do not work in Firefox or Internet Explorer. When I attempted to re-create the problem on JSFiddle, there was none! Here is that link: http://jsfiddle.net/willwsharp/7S8LV/1/
    My error still persists however, so I must conclude that I am doing something incorrect in the Firefox browser. Thanks for any help in advance, I really appreciate it!

    I changed the z-indexes and it works now!

    Hello margmcarlson,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    Troubleshooting iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch accessories
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2634
    Restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to its factory default state. You should rarely need to use this step with an accessory issue.

  • SetTimeout() not working on mobile devices

    setTimeout() does not work on mobile devices ie. Safari on iOS 7.1.2 and Android 2.2.  What is the alternative that works on mobile devices?  Thank you.

    Hi Carlos,
    MS mobile browsers are crippled. They don't support many features known from IE. I would suggest to check MSDN for Windows Mobile documentation:

  • Auto tab focus method is not working in iOS devices please share the ideas why its not working?

    Auto tab focus method is not working in iOS devices. Please share the idear i am facing this issue while developing code for devices.

    Hi there,
    I can confirm this bug.
    Not sure if this info is relevant, but this is my experience:
    I am on the FIDO network, and so are two other people I know.
    We all tried blocking numbers, and calls ring right through. Text messages are blocked successfully. (never tried facetime)
    I also tried a ROGERS device running IOS7, and was successfully able to block my phone call from ringing through. HOWEVER, my call was forwarded to their voicemail, I was able to leave a voicemail for the person, and they did get an alert that they had a new voicemail.
    I have not yet had a chance to test this on Bell, Telus, or any other carriers.
    Spoke to Apple, and they advised me to do a hard reset (hold both buttons to shut off and reboot the phone), and if that fails to do an iOS restore.
    I have yet to try this, but hopefully someone will have a better solution.

  • HTML5 output is not working on mobile devices, including iPads and iPhones

    Hello,
    I posted a question about this last week but had no reply. So I'm posting it again as it presents a serious problem for anyone wanting to publish content to mobile devices from Captivate 6.
    The problem is that HTML5 quiz content runs incrediably slowly (it at all) and crashes the brower on mobile devices. I have tested this on an iPhone and 2 iPads in 2 different locations.
    This is a demo that shows the problems: http://sshls-dev.port.ac.uk/captivate_problems/
    (Running this demo on a standard laptop / PC will be fine and it will work perfectly. The problem only appears when the content is viewed on a mobile device).
    The problem is more extreem in the 'shorthand' demo. The quiz loads up the first question and then when I press submit it either freezes or closes the browser (Safari) completly. Occasionally it will progress to questions 2 or 3 but then the same happens.
    I am keen on finding an answer / workaround becuase at the moment it effectively means that Captivate cannot be used to display quizes on phones / iPads.
    I would be very grateful if anyone knows how to solve this problem to let me know.
    thanks,
    Emily

    Hi, is this a question" Post?
    or are you just offering an insight into your Mouse Issue?
    Generally and at times we all have little idiosyncrasies appearing with the running of our Macs.
    I use the same Logitech BT with my MBP. MB & iBook..(not at the same time) Only ever had one issue

  • Email settings DO NOT WORK WITH iOS Devices

  • Sprinboard screen does not work on android device

    Hi experts,
    I have a mobile application that i coded on JDEV 11.1.2.4. And i deploy via sdk android-4.3 version. I set DefaultSpringboard on adfmf-application.xml file.
    When i deploy on AndroVM or another Android VM either SDK Emulator, i can see springboard screen properly. But deploy on real devices (tried with Android 4.1.1 Tablet, Android 4.1.2 Sony experia phone, Android 2.3.5 HTC phone) could not see anything, just seen black screen with header(written as applicationName) AdfmfContainerUtilities.showNavigationBar(); does not work also.
    How can i resolve this?
    Also i tried to create completely new adf mobile application that contains only 2 feature and applied the scenerio, it fails on real device too. I think that the problem is on loading featureList. Because when i created an amx page and set as CustomSpringboard. It works

    Per the release notes, Wallaby only supports Chrome and Safari at this time.
    And yes, it only works with Adobe Flash Professional CS5 files. To use older Adobe Flash Professional files you can resave them in CS5 and then run them through Wallaby. This is a technology preview (not a product) and therefore has certain limitations that might not exist in a shipping product.
    You mention this doesn't work on an itouch G3. You mean an iPod touch G3, yes? What version of iOS do you have installed on your iPod touch? This may be related to incorrect serving of SVG content (if you are using apache) and so you may need to update your .htaccess file in apache per the Wallaby technical tips page.

  • ANCHOR LINKS NOT WORKING!...STILL :(

    Well another Muse update has come out and to much disappointment the same issues still exist with anchors. They do not work in Safari 6 running Mountain Lion, or iOS. Anchors in iOS have been an issue since the Muse Beta days... so I am now starting to doubt a fix for anchors in Safari.
    What is so frustrating is how an addition to the "Hyper link" Menu that allows for the downloading of files has made its way in, yet a bug in the exported Javascript file from muse that controls the scrolling of anchors has yet to be resolved.

    This problem should be fixed! Im using Anchors too in a vertical scroll page ive been working on for quite some time. The idea was to make it suiteable for not only safari, firefox etc but also ios devices. Now the whole site is unusable and since im doing this for a client my job is at stake. I went from dreamweaver and wordpress since i thought muse was a great tool concidering my background in visuals. I have also convinced others to convert to muse... quess i shouldnt. This problem or Bug seems to be here to stay. I've seen on the forum, several times, that a the Muse team are working on a fix but nothing is happening!
    Now with the new release i was sure that this bug would dissapear in ios and Mountain Lion, but as desmo848 said... nothing.
    Can the muse team give us an approximate answer on when its likely that this will be fixed? I have waited for a long time now and maybe i should just give up, leave muse and rebuild everything in another software.
    Perhaps you could provide us with a temporary workaround, if there's one... some code.. until this is solved?
