Create "skip to" navigation on a website you don't own?

Question

I'm linking a bunch of friends to a note about our organization on someone else's website.

This happens a lot. The link is to a long page of text. Is there any way to modify the link I send so that she won't have to scroll or "find" the part about us?

Like www.longlist.com&skipto_localchapter

Answer 1

View the source code of the web page.

Look to see if there is any <a name=""> elements on the page, especially at the part of the web page you want to go to.

Since you can't change someone else's site, it all depends on if they put it in or not.

If there is a <a name=""> near where you want to go, for example, if the name is:  <a name="GoHereName"></a>

Then you create your link href with the URL + # sign + the anchor name like so:

<a href="WebPage.html#GoHereName"></a>
