Redirecting FormLister to an Anchor After Submission

Sometimes the form submits successfully, but the page reload sends the visitor back to the top. When the form sits lower on a long landing page, that feels awkward. The better experience is to return the user to the same block or to a dedicated result anchor.

The goal

After a successful FormLister submission, redirect to the page URL plus an anchor such as #contact or #result.

Why this can fail

Some redirect helpers rebuild the URL without preserving the fragment, because the anchor is a client-side browser concern and is not always carried through generic redirect methods automatically.

Practical fix

If your project uses a custom section or form wrapper class, update its redirect logic so the target URL includes the desired fragment explicitly.

$url = $modx->makeUrl($modx->documentIdentifier);
$modx->sendRedirect($url . '#contact');

When to use it

• landing-page contact forms
• long product pages
• pages with inline validation messages or success summaries

This is a small UX improvement, but it makes form flows feel much more deliberate.
