    Yes.

    You need to use <a name="bit-down-the-page-number-1"></a> at the top of where you want to link to. Then the link to that is <a href="http://somesite.com/directory/page.html#bit-down-the-page-number-1">link text</a>.

    Example here:

    Not that it makes much difference, but you can also use any element with an ID, so it doesn't have to have an anchor tag.

    Sorry, I mean that the element you are linking to doesn't need to have a
    [html]<a name="">anchor</a>[/html]

    You link to it in the normal way:

    [html]
    <a href="#divContent">Main Content</a>
    ....
    ....
    ....
    ....
    ....
    ....
    ....
    <div id="divContent">main content goes here</div>
    [/html]
