I've look through the forum and did not find a solution. In version 8.x I was able to accomplished the effect to move the top of the page so my banner and menu bar are visible after submitting a form and still show the success message. All I did was duplicate the <a id="usermessagea"></a> anchor right after <body> tag. With this, the page would find and stop on the first anchor that I added instead of the anchor inserted by cforms farther down the page. I prefer this action over default behavior where the page does not return to the top.

Now I am using Cform 10.2 with WP 2.7.1 and will have several independent forms using Cforms. What I'd like to do is change my anchor after body tag to <a id="usermessage_tof"> and hack Cforms to modify the link with #usermessage.$no to #usermessage_tof on the end after submit. I believe the Success Message will remain and the page will be at the top showing the banner and menu bar.

I've looked through cforms.php, cforms.src.js and several lib_*.php files and can't identify what or how to modify code.

Any suggestions including alternative ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

Not exactly a good idea, by doing so you're introducing another HTML element with the same ID (IDs should be unique). You could for instance add a redirect URL upon submit.

The good news, with the next release, you can use the "Redirect Option" to point to any location on your page, to which the focus will be set after successful submission.
