Hyperlink from email to middle of external page with no name tag

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

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.

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.
