Anchor-tags not working

The anchor tags on every page of my Wordpress website are not working. I understand how to do them, for example on my contact page, I have 

<a href="#end"></a>

around the mail image. It is linked to before the "thank you" at the end of the page with: 

<a id="end"></a>

When the mail image is clicked the link does not execute. If I type in the direct link to the jump, it works. Thanks for any help!

In your page source you have the following:

<a id="end"></a>

It should be:

<a name="end"></a>

It's worth noting though that the name attribute of the <a> tag is deprecated as of HTML5. Therefore to be HTML5 compliant I'd suggest the following:

<h2 id="end">some text at the end</h2>

Note the element can be anything you want. Usually a header tag or similar though.
