first off thanks for the help. forgive me if I am repeating myself here or if I have my dunce hat on here) Having the tag in the page is easy. But when they press the button to submit the search query (which is handled by a listemer method) how do I tell the page to go to the anchor? I mean All I do is do a db search, populate a persistent property and return from the method. The table component fills in the data on render but as I am simply returning from a listener method how do I affect a positioning to the anchor?
