Anchors in <body> tags or form submits

Anon

I'm trying to make a page scroll down to a certain section when the form is submitted. The form submits the data to itself and refreshes thus refreshing the page.

I tried putting an anchor tag at the point where I wanted the user to be at when the page was submitted, and placed this in the "body" tag: <body onload="#Message">

The problem was that IE didn't like that and said there was an error message. Also, I tried including the #Message anchor into the form action itself, but that didn't work because I think the URL had a query string also. E.g.:

<form method="post" action="Calc.php#Message?WkshtID=<? echo $WkshtID; ?>" name="SubmitCalc">

Is there anyway to force the page to scroll down to a certain anchor after a FORM is submitted that includes a query string?

Thanks!

Well have you tried

<form method="post" action="Calc.php?WkshtID=<? echo $WkshtID; ?>#Message" name="SubmitCalc">.

I dont know if this works, but I know that PHP would most likely interpret the #Message as part of something... Try putting this after you send the GET string.

Sorry if this doesnt work 🙂

that should work if you have a <a name="Message"></a> where you want the page to load at
