Is there such a mechanism in HTML that would allow me to make a hyperlink refer to a certain place in a page, rather than to it’s beginning?

I mean, for example, I have a page with some text, and in that text there is such phrase: “I like cats”. The URL of that page is

http://www.cats.com/bingo.html

So, when I refer to that page from another page I use a hyperlink similar to this

[url="http://www.cats.com/bingo.html"]My attitude toward cats[/url]

but this will get me to the very top of the page I am referring to. How can I make the hyperlink to open that page and scroll down to “I like cats” in the text? Is it possible at all?

    you can link to a part of the text by using hash-tags and id’s

    example:

    <html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
    <p>This is a large piece of text ...</p>
    <p>Another piece of text with <span id="cats">i like cats</span> in it.
</body>
<html>

    if you now use the link http://www.cats.com/bingo.html#cats it will jump to that part
