CSS- Highlight a div when the id is linked to using an anchor?

Question

What I am attempting to do is to highlight a div with a certain id, when It has been referred to by an anchor on another page IE:

User clicks link href="qw.html#test", when the page is loaded, then the div with the id="test" is highlighted so that the user can see it clearly.

I'm sure that I've seen a CSS3 example where a div is highlighted if it was linked to. Or was it JavaScript?

You need to use the :target pseudo-class:

:target {    background-color: #ffa; }
