Use the Check Links feature to search for broken links and unreferenced files in an open file, a portion of a local site, or an entire local site. Dreamweaver checks only links and references to documents within the site. Dreamweaver compiles a list of external links that appear in the selected document or documents, but it does not verify them.
To check links within the current document:
| 1 | Save the file to a location within a local site. |
| 2 | Choose File > Check Links > This Document. |
|
To check links within a portion of a local site:
| 1 | Choose Window > Site Files to open the Site window. |
| 2 | Choose a site from the Sites list pop-up menu. |
| 3 | In the local pane, select the files or folders to check. |
| 4 | Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) and choose Check Links > Selected Files/Folders from the shortcut menu. |
|
To check links in the entire site:
 |
Choose File > Check Links > Entire Site. |
When Dreamweaver has finished checking the links in the specified files, it opens the Link Checker dialog box. This dialog box displays a list of broken links, external links (links that Dreamweaver cannot check because they are outside the site), and orphaned files (files to which no other documents are linking).
To toggle among the Broken Links, External Links, and Orphaned Files lists, select the appropriate item from the Show pop-up menu.
To save the entire report as a tab-delimited text file, click Save. See Also Fixing broken links.
