Imagine clicking a link in an index, and it takes you to page 423, but you have to spend a few seconds looking for the precise reference.

Is there some sort of trick with CSS or whatever that would somehow highlight the anchored text when someone visits it via a hyperlink? For example, the sentence below might display in bold text or the color red when someone links to it...

Code:

<span id="bear">Brown bears are native to the Northern Hemisphere.</span>

(INDEX)
Bears, brown, range, <a href="#bear">423</a>

Thanks.

EDIT: I just realized this won't be a good idea if I'm going to insert ID's other elements, like <p id="ox">.
