It needs to be exactly the same as in the source. The anchor you've added needs to be preceded with the # symbol.</p> <p>Basically it's telling the form to return back to that anchor (the #) when the form submits (the action) and the page reloads.</p> <p>Since I see your shortcode is for form 1, this should be what you need.</p> <pre><code>&lt;a name=&quot;validate&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt; [gravityform id=1 name=Survey title=false description=false] &lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt; jQuery(document).ready(function() { jQuery(&quot;#gform_1&quot;).attr(&quot;action&quot;, &quot;#validate&quot;); }); &lt;/script&gt;</code></pre> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/focus-of-page-for-validation#post-8973 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 19:23:50 +0000 begatt 8973@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I can't seem to get the script correct...I know nothing about jQuery.<br /> <pre><code>&lt;a name=&quot;validate&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt; [gravityform id=1 name=Survey title=false description=false] &lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt; jQuery(document).ready(function() { jQuery(&quot;#id=1&quot;).attr(&quot;action&quot;, &quot;#validate&quot;); }); &lt;/script&gt;</code></pre> <p>Should it be "1" or "id=1" or "#1" or "#id=1"?</p> <p>And "validate" or "#validate"? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/focus-of-page-for-validation#post-6377 Wed, 16 Jun 2010 08:53:48 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 6377@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Yes. You can manually add an anchor to your post body, then use a jQuery snippet to add the anchor reference to the form. That way, when the form submits and runs the validation, the page will return to the section with the form visible.</p> <p>This is something we plan to add to a future release, but for now, this works like a charm.</p> <p><a href="http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/display-errors-at-top-of-page#post-4135" rel="nofollow">http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/display-errors-at-top-of-page#post-4135</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/focus-of-page-for-validation#post-6369 Wed, 16 Jun 2010 05:05:21 +0000 nickhas 6369@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>is there a way to get the page to stay put when a validation occurs? If a form is in the footer and a user submits, the page pops back to the top. The form will either output a success message or an error, but the user may not know anything because the page has reset to the top and the form is no longer visible. </p> <p>Sorry if this is already covered. I couldn't find anything. </p>
