Hi Anuja,
A question, are you checking with a remote login or something? I assume its a latency with remote. May be by the time link fires, I think you are tabing. Hit enter a wait for sometime.
If not, you want to get buffer refreshed after loading the page if particularly on a staging surver. Press Insert f4 to do so and begin testing.
