id and anchor link inside url not scrolling to anchor

Question

I need an id inside url and scroll to an anchor link

<a name="tags" id='tags'></a> 

<a href="edit.php?id=382#tags">GO</a>

also tried:

<a href="edit.php?id=382&#tags">GO</a>

Simply - doesn't work. Page is loaded on top or if reloaded - on current scroll position.

Just sometimes scrolling appears near to the tags anchor.

Any help?

I think your code is just fine. But there has to be enough scrollable height in your page.
Below example works.

<a href="index.html?id=382&#link1">GO To Link 1</a> <!-- redirect to link 1 -->

<a href="index.html?id=382#link2">GO To Link 2</a> <!-- redirect to link 2 -->

<div style="height:100%;"></div>

<a name="tags" id='link1'>Link 1</a> <!-- link 1 -->

<div style="height:100%;"></div>

<a name="tags" id='link2'>Link 2</a> <!-- link 2 -->

<div style="height:100%;"></div>
