hyperlink - Linking to a specific part of a web page

Question

How do I create a link to a part of long webpage on another website that I don't control?

I thought you could use a variant of the #partofpage at the end of my link. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Just append a # followed by the ID of the <a> tag (or other HTML tag, like a <section>) that you're trying to get to. For example, if you are trying to link to the header in this HTML:

<p>This is some content.</p>
<h2><a id="target">Some Header</a></h2>
<p>This is some more content.</p>

You could use the link <a href="http://url.to.site/index.html#target">Link</a>.
