After submit, automatic focus on thank you message?

I am following along using my own website. I have a single website with multiple sections and the contact form is at the bottom. Everything works as it should be, but after submitting it refreshes the page and stays at the top. The message is shown if you scroll down, but is there a way so that it automatically scrolls down to my #contact section (after the refresh), to where the thank you message is displayed?

Give this a look and see it helps you out, without seeing your code it's not as easy, but this may send you in the right direction: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22027170/automatically-scroll-down-after-submit-action

Basically, you are giving your form an ID and then in the action you are using it as an anchor.

Yes, it seems like that should do the trick, sadly it doesnt work for me :(

<form method="POST" id="form" action="index.php#form" novalidate="novalidate">
