Hi,

Link checker pro i used it earlier it has a drawback if any of the link is missing and you website has an automatic page that displays " The page you are looking for is not available " - error handling then Link checker would not be able to capture this scenario that it is broken link....

Its better you automate each and every link or check each page in

http://validator. w3.org/checklink

Hi All,

Thanks for the information. I have to test all broken links on my
application. I have shortlisted some tools like -

1.http://www.creating online.com/ site_promotion/ broken_link_ checker.htm
2.http://www.dead- links.com/
3.http://www.link- checker-pro. com/
4.http://validator. w3.org/checklink

To test the broken links on any page we have to enter URL of page like
www.google.com.

But my problem is, Throughout the application 'URL' does not change.
For example if the URL of Login page is

"http://127.00. 00.1:1701/ gwv/app"

After Login to the application when i naviate to some other page. URL
remains same

"http://127.00. 00.1:1701/ gwv/app"

May be developers internally call some action for navigation. Thats
why new URL does not reflect on browser.

I also try to find the name of page/form by using

1. Firebug
2. IE developer toolbar

But not able to find the URL of other pages in my application. So not
finding way to test thousands of links available on these pages.

Please help me to trace url of pages.

Thanks
