take browser to the message

[php_begins]

hello, this is part of my contact form code.

When i click on the submit button i need the form to take me to the $success_message or the $failure_message instead of the top of the page.

I know i can do it with # tag or # id normally.

But I do not know how to apply it to the form.

 

 

//some text and stuff<tr>
   <td>
   <? if(!empty($success_message))
      {
        echo "<center><font color='blue'><b>".$success_message."</b></font><br></p>";
      }
      if(!empty($failure_message))
      {
         echo "<center><font color='red'><b>".$failure_message."</b></font><br></p>";
      }
   ?>

<?
if((empty($_POST)) || !empty($strError))
{
     echo "<table align= 'center' width='70%' style='border-top: 1px; border-right: 1px; border-left: 1px; border-bottom: 1px; border-color: black; border-style: solid;'>";
?>


  <form action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF;?>" method="post">
      <tr height='40'>
         <td>
           <font color="black"><B> First Name: </B></font>
         </td>
 <td><input type="text" size ="40" name="first_name" value="<? if(!empty($strError)) {echo cleaninput($_POST['first_name']);}?>" class="advertising-inputbox-style" />
            <?php if (!empty($arrErrors['first_name'])) echo $arrErrors['first_name']; ?>
 </td>

      </tr>
      <tr height='40'>
     <td><font color="black"><B> Last Name: </B></font></td>
     <td><input type="text" size ="40" name="last_name" value="<? if(!empty($strError)) { echo cleaninput($_POST['last_name']);}?>" class="advertising-inputbox-style"/>
     <?php if (!empty($arrErrors['last_name'])) echo $arrErrors['last_name']; ?>
             </td>
      </tr>

      <tr height='40'>
     <td><font color="black"><B> Email Address: </B></font></td>
     <td><input type="text" size ="40" name="email_address" value="<? if(!empty($strError)) { echo cleaninput($_POST['email_address']);}?>" class="advertising-inputbox-style"/>
     <?php if (!empty($arrErrors['email_address'])) echo $arrErrors['email_address']; ?>
             </td>
      </tr>
       <tr height='35'>
	     <td><font color="black"><B> Business Name: </B></font></td>
	     <td><input type="text" size ="40" name="business_name" value="<? if(!empty($strError)) { echo cleaninput($_POST['business_name']);}?>" class="advertising-inputbox-style" />
      <?php if (!empty($arrErrors['business_name'])) echo $arrErrors['business_name']; ?>
             </td>
      </tr>

      <tr>
         <td><font color="black"><B> Business Description: </B></font></td>
         <td ><textarea rows=7 cols=31 name="description" class="advertising-textarea-style"><? if(!empty($strError)) { echo cleaninput($_POST['description']);}?></textarea>
         <?php if (!empty($arrErrors['description'])) echo $arrErrors['description']; ?>
         </td>


      <tr height='35'>
         <td></td>
         <td><input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" /></td>
      </tr>

   </form>

 <? if(!empty($success_message))
      {
        echo "<p class='#form'><center><font color='blue'><b>".$success_message."</b></font><br></p>";
      }
      if(!empty($failure_message))
      {
         echo "<p class='#form'><center><font color='red'><b>".$failure_message."</b></font><br></p>";
      }
   ?>

<?
if((empty($_POST)) || !empty($strError))
{
     echo "<table align= 'center' width='70%' style='border-top: 1px; border-right: 1px; border-left: 1px; border-bottom: 1px; border-color: black; border-style: solid;'>";
?>

You want to specify the 'fragment identifier' in your HTML form's action

<form action="process.php#message" method="post">

 

And on process.php

 

<span id="message">Your message here</form>

 

This is all HTML, and not PHP. Generally, if it's client-side behavior, it doesn't belong in this forum.

Thank you very much. Since i was calling PHP_SELF and calling out some php functions, i assumed someone with better knowledge of PHP syntax might be able to help me add html to my existing code..
