This idea works nicely but remember if you have pages of any size the user experience will suffer. As an example Bugzilla does it using dynamic javascript and it still has annoying pauses, a page load would be worse.
Also, you should have an additionaly piece of javascript to put the cursor back where it was when the page was submitted.
