The part you wish to link to should be given an "id" attribute if it does not already have one.

Then to link directly to that part from the same page, use that ID as the "href" of the link with a "#" symbol in front of the name. If the link is to a different page, put the "#" and the id immediately after the URL in the "href".

For example:

<p id="linkme">This is the spot you want the link to go to</p>

<!-- then elsewhere on the page -->
<a href="#linkme">Click here to go to the other part of the page</.a>

And for a practical example, click here to go to the question part of this page.

use 'href' when using links.
