What I am doing is setting the form action to the current page, then including a tag <cf_quote-process> and that template checks to see if a form has been submited before running the calculations needed. There's no reason I couldn't have what is in the template in the main page, it just looks tidier this way, so if it would help to move it into the main page, I can.
Adrian's solution is working quite well, but I agree, it could be done a lot lot better. Many thanks all for replies ..

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.

I'd do it with some jQuery myself.

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 -----Original Message----- From: Adrian Lynch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 30 July 2008 17:58 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Form question 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. Adrian -----Original Message----- From: Jenny Gavin-Wear [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 30 July 2008 17:29 To: CF-Talk Subject: Form question 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 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:309999 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
