I would tend to use :
<h1><a name="something" id="something">INTRODUCTION.</a></h1>

( name="something" keeps it compatible with older browsers which don't
support 'id')

Or occasionally:

<div style="width:100%;">
<h1><a name="something" id="something">INTRODUCTION.</a></h1>
</div>

On the occasions when the page has to work 'keyboard-only' on IE and
behave like other browsers when tabbing from link-to-link.

regards.
