Highlight the input error when the form is below the fold?

    I have a Gravity Form placed below the fold on a long(ish) page. When there's an error which prevents the form from being sent (e.g. a required field not being completed), it isn't obvious to the end user because the error message is out of sight.

    Is there a straight forward technique to do any of the following? :

    - Scroll the page to the form's location after unsuccessfully submitting.
    - Relocate the error message to the top of the page.
    - Show the error message in a lightbox or similar modal window

    Or, can you recommend a different approach for highlighting the issue to the user?

    Thanks.

    If you want the form to anchor when submitted you can use a hook to do this. The hook can be found here:

    An alternative solution is to enable ajax via the shortcode (or function call). AJAX will automatically anchor. Multi-Page forms also do this automatically.

    The reason why single page non-ajax forms do not is because this functionality was implemented at a later date and we did not want to change default behavior as some users may have customizations implemented.
