Help! JSP/Links on the same page

[mt]

Hello all,

From a JSP I'm calling a servlet which function is to add some
information to an application being filled. Now the thing is that in
the JSP I have three different forms that works with related data of
the application. I want to be able to fill one of the forms and when
I click the button I want to be able to return to the form but in the
position/location of the form instead of the top of the page.
I know that with HTML you can create a tag (i.e. <a href="#thisForm">
) and when you call the page with the link like
www.page.com/thispage.htm#thisForm you will get into that tag. Is
there a way similar to create this using JSP. Please let me know!!!

Thanks in advance,

mt

No way to tell without additional information. The content of web.xml
would be a good starting point...

Ok, lets put it this way. From a JSP I want to create something
similar as the <a name="name"> tag from HTML and then call as for
example "http://page.com/index.jsp#goToNames. Is that possible? I

So why not just do it that way, i.e. have anchors defined in the form
returned to the client. Another way would be to have a piece of
JavaScript at the bottom of the page set focus to the desired
element.

Probably you don't know but JSP produces just html.
And html is html everywhere.
So in your case it would be exactly the same:

) and when you call the page with the link like
www.page.com/thispage.htm#thisForm you will get into that tag.

OK, I understand that, now the situation is... how do I define that in
a web.xml file??? I'm running a tomcat server and it appears the 404
error for /webapp/index.jsp#form . How can I define this in the
web.xml??? I know there is a jsp tag in the web.xml under the servlet
tag. Thanks for al the help in this.
