jump to a bookmark in validation routine

[briancostea]

Is it possible to achieve the following scenario with .net? I set up a bookmark in a form. For example, <a name="a">

When the user submits the form, a validation routine is called to verify the contents of the form. If there is an error, I want to go to bookmark “a”. Does anyone know the VB code to achieve this (I don’t need the validation code, just the park to make the browser jump to the bookmark)?

I looked around this site, and tried
Me.SmartNavigation = true, but that doesn’t seem to work.

As always, any help is appreciated.
Thanks - Brian

thanks, i didn't find that post when i searched.

this won't work for me. i am doing the validation in vb, so i cannot call a javascript function.

That code doesn't call a javscript function - it registers one to the page to jump down to a particular element.

If you are doing server-side validation then only add that code once you have performed your validation.

it didn't work. it never jumps to the location. i added an alert() to be sure the code was being executed, and sure enough the page loads at the top and stays there.
