Jenny,
Is your action page the same page that your form is on, or is it a different
template and you do a cflocation back to the form template?
If it's the same, then Adrian's method should work.
If it's a different template, then you need to do it a bit differently:
Store a hidden field with the anchor name:
<input type="hidden" name="anchor_name" value="">
<input name="height" type="text" class="inputNumber" id="height"
onchange="this.form.anchor_name.value = 'yourAnchorHere';
document.forms['process'].submit();" <cfif
isdefined("session.height")>value="#session.height#" </cfif> />
Now, at the end of your action template, when you do a "cflocation" back to
the form template, add to your url like so:
<cflocation url="myformurl.cfm###form.anchor_name#">
Remember you need the double ## so that a # actually gets sent.

The quick and dirty answer is:
<input name="height" type="text" class="inputNumber" id="height"
onchange="this.form.action += '#yourAnchorHere';
document.forms['process'].submit();" <cfif
isdefined("session.height")>value="#session.height#" </cfif> />
But as Dave said, there are much better ways to do this. I'd do it with some
jQuery myself.

Hi Adrian,
Many thanks for the helpful reply, I'm still not very conversant with
Javascript.
An example of the code I've used is:
<input name="height" type="text" class="inputNumber" id="height"
onChange="document.forms['process'].submit();" <Cfif
isdefined("session.height")>value="#session.height#" </cfif> />
How would I need to change the syntax, please?
Jenny

In the function that fires onchange, add the #place to the action of the
form.
Something like:
function refreshMyForm() {
this.form.action += "#myPlace";
}
<select onchange="refreshMyForm()">
....
</select>
That needs tidying up and made better but that's the basic idea.

I'm working on a quotation page. I have a long (very) form and when elements
in the form change I need it to process a cftag.
I have this working pretty well using onchange to submit the form, but it's
pretty horrible for the user to be returned to the top of the page after
each submit/page reload.
Is there a way I could have the user come back to an anchor after each
reload, and to be able to specify the anchor for each onchange?
I hope I've explained this clearly enough,
Thanks in advance,
Jenny
