Link to a specific part of a webpage?

Can you remember how to link to a specific place on a webpage when quoting a URL?

The page you're linking to needs a tag to define the point you want to link to. Then

Code:

<a href='http://www.somewebsite.com/page.html#section1'>link</a>

#section1 being the name of the point above.

Might want to move this to HG&P...

You put #ANCHOR_NAME after the URL. This is assuming the page makes use of anchors, which is by no means guaranteed.

Anchor locations are defined by ID. So if you have <h2 id="sectionc">Title</h2> you could link to it by http://www.domain.com/path/to/page#sectionc

It works for the ID of any element, so look out for IDs surrounding the content you want to link to.

Thanks for the helpful replies. The damn page I'd like to link to doesn't seem to have anchors or IDs :mad:
