Adobe Target: Unable to add link to image on page through VEC

Learn why does the link not work with the QA URL.

Description description

Environment

Adobe Target

Issue/Symptoms

You may be able to create the activity through VEC where you are adding a Link to the Image.
However with the QA URL / content delivery, the link might not work.

Cause
This may be due to the fact that Adobe Target polls all the selectors before loading the DOM elements, and since this image id is created “on the run,” the next action of applying link on this id is not executed, as the selector is not found.

Resolution resolution

Solution
In such scenarios, make the below changes to the activity where you are looking forward to edit the links of the image:

  1. Edit the Activity.

  2. Click on the G ear button and go to Site Preferences.

  3. Disable Use element IDs and Save it.

  4. Click on Next and Save the activity.

This should help to resolve the issue.
