I have a question at:

https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28717111/Article-edit-Data-Anomaly-1-of-4-Dirty-Read-5-8.html

In this question, I want the readers be able to navigate to another page using:

https://www.experts-exchange.com/articles/20279/Isolation-levels-at-a-glance.html#DirtyRead

Where I also have <a id="DirtyRead"></a>    (right under Table 1)

Question: How can I make it to go to a certain location in this link?

What I have above doesn't work. Do you know how this is done?

This is partial source code I have in the target page:
<h3></h3>

<hr><h3><br><a id="DirtyRead"></a>
<mark><u>Data Anomaly 1 of 4:<b>&nbsp;Dirty Read&nbsp;</b></u></mark><br>
Below, using a manual transaction a&nbsp;dirty read case illustrated in figure 5 followed a solution in figure 6 with a automated transaction using an isolation technique to control this data anomaly.<br>
&nbsp;</h3>

I know it can be confusing, but the anchor tecnique dates back to the dawn of the web, a lot before the css id identifier born :-)

@Ryan,

I have been adding <a id="DirtyRead"></a> but EE rejects it,

@Marco,

I added the following:

<hr><h3><br>
<a name="DirtyRead">aa</a> <mark><u>Data Anomaly 1 of 4:<b>&nbsp;Dirty Read&nbsp;</b></u></mark><br>
Below, using a manual transaction a&nbsp;dirty read case illustrated in figure 5 followed a solution in figure 6 with a automated transaction using an isolation technique to control this data anomaly.<br>
&nbsp;</h3>

In EE's edit mode shows like the image below:

But when I click on
 https://www.experts-exchange.com/articles/20279/Isolation-levels-at-a-glance.html#DirtyRead
It doesn't go to the intended location.

But unlike <a id="DirtyRead"></a> which keeps disappearing, <a name="DirtyRead">aa</a> stays in place.

Have I messed up something here? BTW, the text aa will be removed later.

Thanks,

Mike
just to try out luck...

not too sure if you need to follow as how EE defining a bookmark.. like starting with a "aXXXXXXX" ?

if it doesn't work, you may post an enquiry at Experts Exchange Community Experts and see if someone can provide you a solution? some "running scripts" in EE may stop us doing "normal things".

@Marco,

You are right. When you were checking it, I must have removed it to try something else. Now I have it again in place and will not fiddle with it. Sorry for that. I have:
 <a name="DirtyRead">bb</a>
I'm really sorry, Mike, but it looks like we can't be able to check that :-)
See the screenshot: I hope it's large enough in order to let you see what I mean. Look at the Firebug section, below the page: the link is with no name. Maybe EE doesn't allow anchors not formatted as "aXXXXXXX" as Ryan suggested?
