How to Put an Anchor Tag Off of the Page
When you create an anchor tag, you are creating a link that opens in either a specific section of the same page as the link or on a different page than the link. If you want for the anchor page to open in a specific section of another page, you must have access to the HTML document for both pages. You must include some additional HTML formatting on each of these pages.
