Default Creating a link to seller contact form using anchor

We've had a couple of people who can't seem to scroll down on the page to see the "Contact Seller' form on the viewlistings page. I'd like to add a link to the sub-nav links on this ad detail page, right under "More Ads from this Seller", that takes viewers to the 'Contact Seller' form on the bottom of the page. I've experimented with a couple of different ways to link from the top of the page to an anchor I've inserted into the contactowner.tpl.php file, but no joy.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I haven't tested this or anything, however I would think that you would actually want to put your link and anchor in your viewlisting(2).tpl.php instead of the the contact file.

Of course you could always just ban the scrolling impaired users as well.

It turns out we are already getting SPAMmers abusing our seller contact form. I'm turning OFF the contact form access for unregistered guests.

As for the 'scrolling impaired' - I wish I could require a minimum 'tech IQ' for people who access this site. I can't believe some of the people who come here DEMANDING we fix something that is caused by user stupidity (er), user error! Now I really have an appreciation for why tech companies stopped offering free, unlimited support a long time ago.

Sheesh. You can only dumb this down so far.

We did this too awhile back, and saw an immediate, marked increase in ad responses. I couldn't believe it.
