Going back to the same spot on a page after posting a comment

[Adastra]

Hi,

 

I've written my own blog script, which works fine. The only thing that bothers me is that when someone posts a comment, the page is loaded at the top (beginning of the entry), instead of loading it at the same point where the user was before he hit "submit comment" (which is usually the commenting form).

How can that be done? I currently use this for sending the person back to the entry page:

header ("Location:". $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);

At the place where the commenting form, place this just before where you want them to be scrolled to:

 

<a name="commentform"></a>

 

Now change your PHP to this:

 

<?php

$url = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']."#commentform";
header("Location: $url);

?>
