I checked my app and I see that the button which jumps to a spot on the form uses javascript.
But if it was useful you could re-display the record and jump to a spot on the form with a syntax like this.
https://mycompany.quickbase.com/db/xxxxxx?a=dr&rid=" & [record ID#] & "#DealerClaim"

Thanks for both your help! No luck on either try. I've even tried it on a separate form thinking that the first form, which uses an ActiveTabs java script might be causing a conflict, but no luck.
At best it takes me to the top of the form, on the first click, and won't do it again even after a refresh. To get it to even take me to the top of the page again I have to navigate off the form, then back on, and click the button again.

They still work in legacy forms in terms of anchoring, tabs are hit or miss but I don't believe those work. I still use anchors by putting text elements on legacy forms and giving it an html tag with an id like <p id='admin'></p> and then in your URL you can end it with #admin and it lands you where ever the admin id is.

Interesting. The anchors I implimented only jumped to the top of the page, if they worked at all. Contacted QB support and they said, "Unfortunately you cannot navigate to specific parts of the legacy form nor to a specific tab. This should be doable in new forms however!".

I have Anchor links that are still working to jump to a spot in a long form.

I was just told by QB support that Anchor points (no longer?) work on legacy forms, but do work on New Forms.
I can confirm that the anchor tags are not working on a legacy form that I have, where I tried them.
FYI

Yes. You can make an anchor tag as a Rich Text formula field like this and position it on the form near where you want to land the user.
"<a name=DealerClaim></a>"
Then suffix the URL that you are coming from with the #TagName
such as URLRoot() & "db/" & dbid() & "?a=dr&rid=" & [Record ID#] & "#DealerClaim"

Hello,
Is it possible to create anchor links on forms? To have a button that will bring you down to a specific spot further down the form?
Thanks
