MAMEWorld Forums - The Loony Bin - Neat... learned new HTML today... link to any text on a webpage

You can link to specific text on a webpage, even if the page doesn't have an anchor in the page code for the text you want to link to.

Just add #:~:text= to the end of the normal link of the page

For example, this navigates directly to the artwork file for Mr. Do, and highlights it (and looks like I should update the CSS for highlighting for my site).

This isn't so much for a page designer of the site in question... they would still use an anchor... this is more for someone that wants to link to something on another website that is not theirs, or for if you want to send a link to a friend, and direct them to a particular part of that page.

Note that for spaces, you have to add the "%20" in lieu of the space for phrases of words to work, like below link, will go to "Time Pilot"
