I assume that you are redirecting from the processing page (the page
pointed to by your form's action attribute) back to the page the form
is on using a Location header. You can add a fragment to the URL
specified in the Location header (this violates HTTP/1.1 but it is
mentioned in the errata) so that when the user-agent redirects, it
redirects to the anchored position.
