The action within this opening form tag works for my site:

<form action="<?php $location = $_SERVER['PATH_INFO']; 
echo ''.$location.'#form';?>" method="post">

Essentially, you're acquiring the current URL and assigning it to $location, then echoing that out with #form tagged on the end. So the browser would read this action as:

action="currentURL.php#form"

I did it this way because my form is an include found on every page of my website, so the action needed to identify its current location before scrolling down to the form.
