innerHTML containing bookmarks cannot be linked to from another page

by

I use JavaScript AJAX to include a file cards.html into a parent html page index.html.
The included cards.html file is a list of cards and each card has a bookmark in it in the form <li id="byx-123_shapes">.
When I hyperlink to the bookmark from another page, instead of the browser positioning on the bookmark it positions on the top of the page.
If I manually insert cards.html into index.html the hyperlinking works properly.
It seems like the browser is unaware of the bookmarks because they were imported via AJAX rather than being there when index.html was loaded.

Cards.html included in index.html.

    <section id="cards">
    <!-- INSERT CARDS HERE -->
    <ul>
    <li id="byx-123_shapes" class="byx-book-tile byx-box">
    
        <figure>
            <img src="books/123_shapes/res/icon.png">
        </figure>
        
        <h2>
            123 Shapes
        </h2>
        <p>
            Placeholder for a book that is still being written.
        </p>
        <a href="previews/123_shapes_view.html">Preview Book</a>
    </li>

    .... more cards ...

    <li id="byx-zoo_friends" class="byx-book-tile byx-box">
        
        <figure>
            <img src="books/zoo_friends/res/icon.png">
        </figure>
        
        <h2>
            Zoo Friends
        </h2>
        <p>
            Placeholder for a book that is still being written.
        </p>
        <a href="previews/zoo_friends_view.html">Preview Book</a>
    </li>
    </ul>
    </section>
...

JavaScript to load cards.html

// Uses AJAX to load cards.html
// Works but messes up card bookmarks
const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
const cards = document.getElementById('cards');
xhr.onload = function() {
    if (this.status == 200) {
        cards.innerHTML = xhr.responseText;
    } else {
        console.warn('Could not load cards');
    };
};
xhr.open('get', 'cards.html');
xhr.send();

Example of a hyperlink that doesn’t work when include via AJAX but does work when insert cards manually.

https://...//index.html#byx-zoo_friends

Can someone explain why this happens and how to fix it.
