Sorry, I guess I wasn't quite specific enough on my description. Yeah, I know how anchor tags work. But my problem is that the the html page is being made by a cgi script. That page made by said cgi script has anchors on it. I would like to be able to have the page load to a specific anchor depending on the criteria handed to it. So, saddly, it's not like the script can take in the info and then send it to another script adding the #anchor info.
But I took one of the other suggestions and referenced the anchor in the call to the form action: <form action="script.cgi#anchor" method="POST"> Amazingly enough, this worked.
