I don't think you can do it quite in the manner that you're attempting, but you can achieve this behavior by doing the following:
- in your action class, populate a request attribute when this page refresh occurs - forward back to your jsp as normal - in your jsp, check for the existence of this request attribute. - if it exists, call a javascript function that sets the window.location.hash value to your anchor name.

Problem Description ------------------------------ I have a page in struts (rather large form) where I have a drop-down menu near the bottom with some choices. (AKA html:select and html:optionsCollection) When a user selects from that menu, I have a javascript.submit() that occurs where my page action retrieves data based on the menu change and populates another text block on the page below the pop-up. On the page being 'refreshed' it has set the scroll position to the top of the page -- which is the normal behavior. I'd like to return to a named anchor on the page by the drop-down menu. My Action.java code returns a "return (mapping.findForward("myMessage"));" In my struts-config.xml I also have the following: "<forward name="myMessage" path="/Main/SomePage.jsp#name_reference"/>" In the JSP page (SomePage.jsp) I have: <html:link linkName="name_reference"></html:link> But of course when I try and execute things, I get a 404 error:: HTTP Status 404 - /Main/SomePage.jsp#name_reference type Status report message /Main/SomePage.jsp#name_reference description The requested resource (/Main/SomePage.jsp#name_reference) is not available. Apache Tomcat/5.0.28 Removing the #name_reference from the struts-config.xml file gets things working again -- just no scrolling to my anchor point.
