Link Explorer Window
- Contains: shows the files embedded in the selected HTML page. Embedded files are the files that are
loaded by the browser along with the page. Embedded files include graphic files, objects (such as Flash or ActiveX), sounds, videos, style sheets, java scripts, java applets, and frames.
- Links to: shows the files the selected page links to. Any type of file can be linked to
HTML page but primarily these are HTML pages. Linked files are not loaded by the browser along with the page.
- Referenced by: shows the pages that reference the selected file. These are HTML pages that contain
or link to the selected file. Only the retrieved pages are shown in this list because the program has no way to
determine what pages link to a particular file until it downloads them.
The Link Explorer shows all links on a page including not retrieved links. Do not confuse
not retrieved links with links retrieved with error. Not retrieved links are marked with n/a
icon. Links retrieved with error are marked with the red cross icon. If an embedded link (listed in
the Contains tab) was not retrieved it may be only because the link was not accepted either by
the task filter or by the project filter. If a link listed in the Links To tab was not retrieved the
reason may be either the filters did not accept it or the link was not accepted by the
depth of exploration.
The Links Explorer window has the same context menu as the File List window.
