How would you add # in the URL via passing from PageReference? I have tried few different way but that does not work.

public PageReference clickOnName() 
{ 
    PageReference newPage = Page.NewEmployee; 
    newPage.getParameters().put('empId', empId + '#menu');  
    return newPage.setRedirect(true); 
}

The above URL will be something:

http://xxxxx.visual.force.com/apex/NewEmployee?id=ABC%23menu

Instead I want:

http://xxxxx.visual.force.com/apex/NewEmployee?id=ABC#menu

Why do you think setting a parameter is likely to do something other than setting the parameter? – immibis 4 hours ago

You need to use Map#setAnchor instead:

PageReference newPage = Page.NewEmployee; 
newPage.getParameters().put('empId', empId);
newPage.setAnchor('menu');  
return newPage.setRedirect(true);

1+ I did not aware of the setAnchor thanks for that... able to add anchor to the URL but my page is white blank after it redirects any thoughts? – Nick Kahn 11 hours ago
    
@NickKahn Off the top of my head, not sure. Did you check your console for any errors? Developer Console debug logs? Are you using an iframe to display your page? – sfdcfox 11 hours ago
    
I don't see any errors in the console logs and the weird thing is that if I hit ENTER on the URL then the page loads property with anchor tag selected. – Nick Kahn 11 hours ago
    
another test I did was not adding setAnchor and after it redirecting I see the page but when add setAnchor after it redirects I get white blank page. – Nick Kahn 11 hours ago
    
@NickKahn Hmm. It works for me when I tested it using a simple mockup. I'm not sure what to tell you. – sfdcfox 10 hours ago
