# replaced by %23 with WA Server Validation redirect to anchor on page

Hi,

I have a WA Server Validation for the WA Captcha at the bottom of a long page. I append the id of an anchor to the filename in the WA Server Validation wizard. When the validation fails, the redirected page gets a 404 error. The address of the failing page has %23 where the # should be. Example...
Redirect in Server Validation wizard: National_Specialty_Volunteers.php#vform
Address displayed by my 404 error page: National_Specialty_Volunteers.php%23vform.

I have tested it and it also fails without the imported Excel table and associated styles.

Attached is my page.

Thanks,
Dennis

in the webassist/form_validations/wavt_scripts_php.php file, change:

header("Location: ". $thePostURL);

to:

$thePostURL = str_replace("%23","#",$thePostURL);
header("Location: ". $thePostURL);

Thanks Jason,

Will this get logged & fixed in the next release?

I think I have something similar.

On my page the captcha "validation show if" is placed low down on the page but when the validation fails the top of of the page shows.

It is not obvious that the send has failed.

I tried to extend the page name with the anchor tag "#valid" but the page was not then recognised.

Is there a method for this please?
Thanks
John

Hi John,

I'm just a rookie at this but I will tell you what worked for me. Maybe it will work for you also.

I created an anchor just above my captcha area using your example: <a id="valid"></a>

Then double click on the WA Server Validations in the Server Behaviors panel to reopen the Server Validations: Insert window, at the bottom for Failed redirect: I entered: mypagename.php#valid this is the name of the page with the validations.

You also have to make the modifications suggested by Jason above. For me this code was at line 83
