HTML form coding problem

Folks,

I'm trying to code a form.  After the values are entered and the
"submit" (calculate) button is pressed, I want to go to the results
section of the form.

So the results section has an anchor that works:
<a name=results>Results</a>

At the end of the form I'm putting:
<INPUT Type="hidden" name=_target VALUE=#results>

When the calculate button is pressed, the end of the URL line shows:
&_target=%23results
If I change the %23 to a # sign, it works, but as the %23 it doesn't.

Anyone know how to keep Apache/FireFox/Perl/whoever from changing the # to %23?

TIA,

David A. Bandel
