Broken Hyperlinks ../../../over 9,988 broken hyperlinks with the following characters in front of the url: .../../sample.htm So I went through the process of editing them all out to show the correct format of: /sample.htm until I was down to 2,312. I got back on the computer this morning and ran a report and would you believe, today I have 12,000 broken hyperlinks and it's the Same exact problem! They are all internal with those little annoying characters in front of them. Any ideas how to fix this issue? I am running frontpage2003. Incidently, the site itself appears to be functioning fine, but It's nice to be able to keep up with any broken hyperlinks without searching through Thousands and thousands of "faux broken links". Thanks, Liss Download FrontPage cleaner from

Open the website in FrontPage and run Tools->Recalculate Hyperlinks Then check the broken Hyperlinks report. FYI, any link beginning with / will be on this report, and FrontPage is not able to manage links of this form. The correct format for a link on a page to a page in the same folder is sample.htm .../sample.htm indicates sample.htm is in the parent folder for the page, and ../../ indicates 2 folders up. FrontPage will always use this method when creating links. -- Show quoteRon Symonds - Microsoft MVP (FrontPage) Reply only to group - emails will be deleted unread.

seen before that says: an error occurred ccessing your windows SharePoint Services site files. Authors, if authoring against a web server, please contact the webmaster. Webmaster- see the servers application event log for more details. I'm not sure where exactly to locate those logs to view the issue.

the web- After running the tool in the previously mentioned response. Then, verify the hyperlinks of which 19,000 were now listed as broken, rather than the 9,000 I was down to! The issue remains, all of the links, although functioning correctly on the site, are showing in the reports as broken internal hyperlinks. They hyperlinks are showing as ../../page.htm The tool Ronx recommended didn't do anything to your extensions.
It's not even aware of their existence. As for the broken links, what kind of navigation structure are you using? JavaScript jump menus? Links used within JavaScript "can" show as broken in the hyperlinks report. -- Show quoteSteve Easton Microsoft MVP FrontPage FP Cleaner http://www.95isalive.com/fixes/fpclean.htm Hit Me FP http://www.95isalive.com/fixes/HitMeFP.htm "Liss" <L***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:008709CB-0A62-41F1-B38D-CE0D197743BC@microsoft.com... > > Ugh, Okay, I ended up having to completely reinstall FPSE, then recalculate > the web- After running the tool in the previously mentioned response.

have you tried specialized link checking software?...like Web Link Validator (I've used their free version) - worked pretty good.

If so, keep in mind that some servers won't respond to the method FrontPage uses to check external links and therefore they will be reported as broken. This is a server setting issue and not an issue with FP or EW. -- Show quoteSteve Easton Microsoft MVP FrontPage FP Cleaner http://www.95isalive.com/fixes/fpclean.htm Hit Me FP http://www.95isalive.com/fixes/HitMeFP.htm "Liss" <L***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:E0447C7E-9936-4C11-9B86-E65BA3BC7CF9@microsoft.com... >>>> If the site was working fine, why are you messing with the links anyway?<< > > because I have over 75,000 links in my site, and when I click on a report to > view which ones are NOT functioning- it would be nice to have it correct so I > can fix the broken links, Rather than sifting through thousands of links that > ARE functioning to find a handful that really are defunct. > > It's quite aggravating to have to use an external website to do a search > when I paid for FP AND EW and Neither of them function properly. > >  |
