Triggering a link from a function and form validation

I am hoping someone can assist me with a part of the form validation I am working on. Here's an overview.

The user fills out a form.
The user clicks the submit button.
The form's onsubmit handler calls a function to validate the form.
If there are fields missing values, the function alerts the user with a message.
The user clicks 'OK' in the alert box.
The function returns false.
The form is not submitted.

Then I would like the page to jump to an anchor located at the top of the form.

How do I make the page move to the anchor from within the function that was called?


Thanks for the assistance.

Here's one solution that almost fits the bill.

form.element.focus()

Gives the missing form element focus and (in some browsers) moves the page to that element.

I would still prefer to be returned to the top of the form. If anyone has an idea I would appreciate the help.

Thanks

Then use an anchor an give that focus

good idea. i'll try it. thanks!
