May seem like a dumb questions as I'm new to JS.
I have a lengthy form which requires that the user returns to a specific location on the form if a specific radio button field value is checked.
focus() doesn't work as the field is not an editable text field.

How do I return the user to a specific location on the form?

umm, may i suggest a non-javascript solution (that is, if i understand your question correctly)?
set an anchor on the page and when teh radio button is clicked, send the user to the anchor.

Thanks for your reply.

I tried doing the anchor thing already, and the problem is that a new form is opened and all fields are cleared.

I want ot go to a location on the existing form without opening a new one.

Thanks again

Just a regular named anchor is all you need, chuckles.

<form>
<input type="text"><br>
<input type="text"><br>
<input type="text"><br>
<input type="text"><br>
<input type="text"><br>
<a name="myAnchor"></a>Here<br>
<input type="text"><br>
<input type="text"><br>
<input type="text"><br>
<input type="text"><br>
<input type="text"><br>
<a href="#myAnchor">Back up</a><br>
<input type="text"><br>
<input type="text"><br>
<input type="text"><br>
<input type="text"><br>
<input type="text"><br>
</form>
