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;

}
