Linking to a specific part of a web page

Question

How do I make a link to a section of a long webpage on another website that I don't own?

I thought you might be able to use a variation of the #partofpage at the end of my link. Any recommendations?

Answer 1

Make a "jump link" with the following formatting:

http://www.somesite.com/somepage#anchor

Where anchor is the id of the element on that page to which you want to link. To find the id of the element you want to link to, use browser development tools or view the source.

You can't do it if the element lacks an id and you don't own the site.
