Validation of form at the bottom of a page

    Hi - we have a form in the footer of a site. If the user fills it out with an error, the page reloads and they end up at the top of the page, so they don't see the validation error message. Is there any way to have the reload take the user back to the form's location, or even better, have the form validate itself via javascript so error messages are seen by the user immediately, even before submitting the form?

    Thanks!

    All of the validation happens server side after the submission so there's no client side way to do that. You can however, use this filter to add an anchor to the form so it returns to it after submission or a validation error.
