Ok, I hope I am trying to say this right.
I am building an html based email to send to some people and I am trying to put a link in it that will take a person to a particular spot on another page. When I have tried to find help on this all I come across is info on putting a name tag or <A NAME="location"> in the the web page source code. Then adding <A HREF="#location"> in the hyperlink.

Since I did not write the page and can not get access to the page to insert one of these tags in the code, how do I link to a particular part of that page. Any help would be appreciated.

If the page has an <a name="midd"... tag in it, you can link to that with page.html#midd but if it doesn't, you're out of luck.

There's almost certainly going to be a name or an id used somewhere in the document.

I think too many people think you need a named anchor to link to something in a page - you don't. You can link to an id (as the tree mentioned).

Would I link to an ID the same way I would to a name?

Can I post a small section of the code here and let you guys show me where it is? I have been looking for about the last 45 minutes and I can't find it.
