How do I navigate to a particular anchor point in a page while passing a query string

How do I navigate to a particular anchor point in a page while passing a query string?

This doesn't work: <a href="index.php?page=videos&video=dread#video_2">

The div that contains the dread video look like this:

<div id="video2" class="video_container" name="video_2">

The div is way down the page so I don't want people to have to scroll all the way back down to the video container every time they choose a new video to watch.

Incidentally, is this why we have to scroll all the way back down the Facebook home/news feed every time we're done viewing somebody's link that they posted?

try

 
<a href="targetPage.php#video2?page=something&video=somethingElse" />

where video2 is the id and not the name of the target element in targetPage.php

This doesn't work: <a href="index.php?page=videos&video=dread#video_2">

The div that contains the dread video look like this:

<div id="video2" class="video_container" name="video_2">

Remove the name attribute because it is not valid for div tags. Change id="video2" to id="video_2" and it will work. Kalon's suggestion is not right: the anchor point is always specified at the end of the URL regardless of the query string.
