Setting up Anchor tags on your webpage to work with 4D Business Kit can be tricky at times. The problem seems to be because of the "base href" tag which is added by 4DBK in the pages that it sends (via the 4DBKStoreSet command). In most of the cases, the base href looks something like this:

<base href='https://127.0.0.1/Test_Site/WebPagesUS/'>

If you have a page called "detail-list.html" with the following anchor:
<A href="#management">Go To Management</A>, clicking on this link will return with the 4DBK page not found error. By clicking on this link, the browser will ask 4DBK for a page whose access path is: "https://127.0.0.1/Test_Site/WebPagesUS/#management".

For the anchor to work correctly, you will have to include the actual page that the anchor is found on along with the "#" character and the anchor name. The link below will work like a charm.

<A href="detail-list.html#management">Go To Management</A>
