Jumping to anchor on loading a JSP

Question

Hello all,
How do I load a JSP page so it is scrolled to a given anchor name?
I guess it should be something like URL#anchorname like usual but I use tomcat and I also need to pass a parameter to the page with page.jsp?param=value and tomcat wants to add ;jsessionid=34234sdfa to it so how do I format it?
The final URL without the anchor is something like
MyPage.jsp;jsessionid=jk24jlk5wj?param=value
so where do I put the anchor tag and will it work at all?
thanks,

Hi,
Not such a javascript guru myself but I believe that anchors aren't actually part of the forms.elements part of the dom.
Try looking it up in the anchors part (see below). Not sure how you do this by name though.... Anyone else???
document.anchors[0].focus();Thinking about this, I've never tried to use focus() on an anchor before - but don't see why it shouldn't work...
Oh, and finally - in your first example, have you tried the following?
MyPage.jsp#anchor;jsessionid=jk24jlk5wj?param=value
