    I have a weird situation on one of my websites, in comment area section
   in blog. When you want to write a comment and when hitting “submit” button, the
   page goes back to top and in the link it gives me a “#” in the tail and the comment
   is not submited. I did not confronted again with this problem, can anyone help
   me? Thanks.
