Form fields are not passed along when a link is clicked. I have used JS to detect link clicks, set the link target to the location of a hidden form, and then submit the form, but this seems impractical and would not work on pages with forms on them. It seems that you are suggesting manually adding a hidden form field to every form on my site, and having the messages lost whenever the user clicks a link.

I should be able to parse the anchor from the referrer header on the subsequent page. Not sure what will happen when the user hits "Back", though. Will the anchor show up in their URL (If so, this method is disqualified)?
