How to skip to an ancor in the page?

[plinto]

Hi,

I made a xhtml page with a form (with an anchor name "form") for sending mail at the bottom of the page . When the submit button is pressed it calls a send.php page that generates some code and recalls the form in it.

 

The problem is this: is there some way to get the send.php page to open where the anchor is? example: pages.php#form

 

Thanks

AFAIK, you can simply just use the "pages.php#form" as the action value for the form, like <form action="pages.php#form" id="form"> (when using fragments, you should rather refer to their ID attribute than name, since that behavior is deprecated)

I tried what you said but it doesn't work anyway.

If I look at the code it is correct: <form action="pages.php#form" id="form">

but in the address bar it comes out: pages.php#

 

Why is this?

I do not believe the solution is just that simple, I think your solution needs to link to the second page like

 

action="pages.php?location=form"

 

and then use js to read that location and move the doc to that location.
