Redirect after failed form? Redirect to page w/ anchor?

Hello fellow GravityFriends (hehe),

Got a fairly straightforward question regarding a redirect to an anchored form when the submission was NOT successful. I have a form on a page that is at the bottom of the page that is linked to via an anchor...observe:

http://www.cruinstitute.net/salon-services/

The form is at the bottom at this link:

http://www.cruinstitute.net/salon-services/#request-form

The issue I am having is when someone does not fill in a missing field and needs to know that. Currently, I tried having the form redirect to the anchored URL, but once I hit submit, it just redirects to the page and drops the anchor. This is important because I want people to know their request was not sent and currently it just goes back to the page as if everything is all good.

I suppose I could have it redirect to a page that says something to the effect of "This did not work" with a direct link to the form, but I don't want to do that extra work unless I know I have to.

On that note, I was wondering if it could also redirect if the form does go through so they may see the confirmation, as well.

Any help is appreciated! :)

Hmm...I think I know how to use this, but not entirely sure. I assume I load this into functions.php, but do I need to assign some extra custom values to it? Example, do I need load the URL or anchor into this filter? Such as:

add_filter("gform_confirmation_anchor_5", create_function("#request-form","return true;"));

I tried that but got (not so) unexpected errors. I loaded in the function as is to apply to all forms, but still no luck. When I submit the form without the required fields, it still does not 'jump' down to the form to let me know. :/

Doh! I didn't realize the anchor markup was being generated automatically, very nice. Thank you, Kevin, works great.

I added the function and can see the confirmation anchor in the source code, but on submit it scrolls up a little but user still can't see any errors without manually scrolling up.

Please advise.

Got it. Note I put together another form using the default wp 3.0 theme and same issue. On submission does not scroll up to top despite having anchor.

Kevin, thanks for directing me here, but I have no idea what to do. I have read over and over, looked at the pictures, and not being a coder at all, I don't understand what I put where, exactly.

In the professional theme I work with, I can have a custom.php file and custom.css file, for PHP and CSS that modifies the site without being concerned with updates.

I am not usually this lost, however, I don't even know what question to ask, embarrassing.

Thanks Kevin, that was the paint by the numbers approach that worked for me. And the confirmation message displayed fine, in IE. If I see adverse results in other browsers, will post back.

Should this filter work for forms that are hard coded in the theme?
I'm having the same issue with a form hard coded to the bottom of a template, adding the filter doesn't seem to produce the anchor - any help much appreciated!

Thanks!

Apologies, I have no idea what I did incorrectly earlier but I now have it working.
Thanks!
