Webpage refreshes to top on incorrect form submission

If I enter an Incorrect email address or password my site refreshes to the top of the page and I see this error

Incorrect email and Pass

I have to scroll back down to where my form is to see a detailed error.

I want to prevent my page going to the top.

I have searched for a solution on here but can't find anything.

HTML Code:

<body>



    <form method="post" style="margin-right:450px;">

        <table align="center" cellspacing="3px;">



            <tr>

                <td>

                    <input style="border:1px #666 solid; border-radius: 4px; width: 180px; padding: 12px 20px; font-size:18px;" type="email" name="mail" required placeholder="Your Email">

                </td>



                <td>

                    <input style="border:1px #666 solid; border-radius: 4px; width: 180px; padding: 12px 20px; font-size:18px;" type="password" name="pass" required placeholder="Your Password">

                </td>

            </tr>



        </table>



        <br><br>



        <button class="button button3" type="submit" name="log" style="color:#FFF; text-align:center; margin-left:70px;">Log In</button></td>



    </form>

</body>

PHP Code:

<?php



    $con=mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","form_data");



    if(isset($_POST['log']))



    {

        $_SESSION['mail'] = $_POST['mail'];



        $email = $_POST['mail'];



        $Password = $_POST['pass'];



        $query = mysqli_query($con,"select * from registration where (User_name = '$email' or Email= '$email') and Password = '$Password' ");



        $check = mysqli_num_rows($query);   



        if($check == 1)

        {



            echo "<h1> User Login <h1>";



            header("location:exam.php");

        }

        else

        {

            echo "<div class='error'> ";

            echo "!! Invalid Username Or Password !!";

            echo "</div>";

You're doing the redirect using PHP, which is a serverside language, which means the function you use is working as expected and thus refreshing. You can either use AJAX to make the request and prevent the refresh, which is the better solution, or do a Javascript scrollTo to that section immediately after redirecting with PHP

You could use a fragment identifier in the form's target to end up on the desired part of the page. <form id="rightHere" method="post" style="margin-right:450px;" action="#rightHere">
