The fragment is client side and ASP has no way of accessing it. If the
page in question has a lot of information you could do something like:
<ul>
<li><a href="#part1">Part 1</a><li>
<li><a href="#part2">Part 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#part3">Part 3</a></li>
</ul>
<h2 id="part1">Title</h2>
<p>....</p>
<h2 id="part2">Title</h2>
<p>...</p>
<h2 id="part3">Title</h2>
<p>...</p>
Most users know how to use the back button (unless you broke it opening
a new window), and also know how to use the page down key, scroll or
otherwise get around the page.
