Form success message/ redirection

Hello. I see the following issue has been asked in the forum previously but don't think a reply has yet been given.

I have a contact form. It's at https://whiterosevisas.com/#contact. On submission, there is a success message. BUT: also on submission, the page is redirected back to the top, i.e. to https://whiterosevisas.com/index.html (top of the page).

This is no good, since for the user, they submit the form and suddenly are taken to a different point in the page. If they scroll back down again, they can see the success message, but it's far from obvious.

What is needed is a way to stay at the # anchor link on submission of form.

I tried doing this by putting /#contact in the form options in perch control panel. This worked in terms of the redirect, but had the effect of disabling the success message.

Please advise! Thanks, Mark

Apologies, I have done another search and found the solution here: https://forum.grabaperch.com/forum/05-31-2015-form-redirection

Basically, put action="#contact" in the form tag.

Thanks, Mark
