Redirect to current url including hash '#' upon form submission

Question

I am trying to basically refresh the page upon form submission, but INCLUDING a hash '#'.

For example, the url is: www.example.com/segment#foo

Using:

$("#form-name").submit(function(){
 location.reload();
});

does not include the hash.

Any help many thanks.

Answer 1

Have you tried just adding the fragment (#foo) in the url in the action attr of the form ?

<form method="POST" action="http://example.com/segment#foo" ...>

Answer 2

The fragment won't be sent to the server (Can I read the hash portion of the URL on my server-side application (PHP, Ruby, Python, etc.)?) so you will have to encode that data some other way.
