Yes, but it still shouldn't be empty, how can you link to part of a page

You mean 'why' rather than how? I suppose if you had a system that allowed
your boss to tell you "add a paragraph of blurbiage after paragraph 3 and
before paragraph 4", how you you reference that point between existing
elements?
Certainly not with an empty <a> element, that's for sure. In this HTML
fragment:
| <body>
| <p>First paragraph...</p>
| <p>Second paragraph...</p>
| <p>Third paragraph...</p>
| <p>Fourth paragraph...</p>
| </body>
Some JS like this:
| var body = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0];
| var fourthParagraph = body.getElementsByTagName('p')[3];
|
| var newParagraph = document.createElement('p');
| newParagraph.appendChild(document.createTextNode('New paragraph'));
|
| body.insertBefore(newParagraph, fourthParagraph);
Would do exactly that.
