How to prevent page from jumping to the top after generate link button is clicked

Ray,

Thanks agin for your help today.
Please Ray, if you have a couple of minutes today to respond, I would greatly appreciate it.

I have an issue that perhaps you can direct me to an easy fix.

When I click to GENERATE LINK, I get bounced back to the top of the page.
This could be very confusing to the user.
How can I fix this?

John

You could add an anchor to the page based on the button pressed and then refer to that anchor in the redirect to return them to the same general area of the page after the form submits. You would name the anchor after the id of the record clicked and then use that in the redirect url.

Did this help? Tips are appreciated...
