Managing the Hyperlinks
ai18ma
I support an online user manual in several languages. There are hyperlinks
in the documents aplenty. One can manage these links in Dreamweaver to make
sure that they are still valid and point to the right location, without of
course clicking on each and single one of them!
Question:
Is it possible to do the same in Frontpage?
I imagine some kind of database where the links and their targets are stored
and verified.
If not, what else would you recommend?
I’ve seen a similar application but as part of a larger Content Management
System; or using php scripts.
Many Thanks.

will list all hyperlinks that are either broken or external (external = root
relative, absolute (http://example.com/pagename.htm), or a link to a file in
a different subweb)
The external links can be verified, though any reported as broken should be
tested manually.

Thanks and Happy New Year!
I did try that, but it doesn't seem to work.
All I get is a blank page with a message:
"if you have opened a Web, this view will show the status of its files and
hyperlinks" (rough translation from German; I'm using the German version of
FP 2002 SP3). The Web page is open; I even did a "select all", to no avail.
None of the menu items under "Problems" seem to be active.
What am I doing wrong?

- if it is a site with the FP Server Extensions use File Open Site, not File Open page

Thanks fort he quick reply.
Let me see if I understood you correctly:
"Page" means a single htm file, and "site" refers to the whole batch, that
is all related single pages. Is that correct?
How can I find out whether or not FP Server Extensions have been installed?
(I can't invoke the control panel).
Can I still use this feature, if the site were not done with FP SE?
(How) Can the page be bundled together to build a "site"?

File->Open Site
Browse to the folder containing the files and folders in your site
Click Open.
If this folder is not already a FrontPage website, FrontPage will offer to
add meta data files and folders - agree. These meta data files are roughly
equivalent to notes files in Dreamweaver.
If the site is on the Internet, you cannot open it in FrontPage unless the
extensions are installed and running. use an FTP client (NOT FrontPage) to
download the complete site to a folder on your PC, and proceed as above.

However, the number of reported broken links is enormous! Over 400! I can
understand some of the error messages; but some of them are a bit hazy:
It keeps referring to a hyperlink "…/none" in almost all files being either
broken or unknown.
What is it complaining about?

I have never seen that particular link (".../none") before - but "../null"
is a variation of an error I see in 404 error reports.
As for other broken links - repairing one using that report can often repair
several at the same time - double click on the "broken" status and browse to
the correct page.

Could it be that FP cannot resolve JS commands?
The hyperlinks are concocted as:
<a onclick="OpenWindow3('the page.html');" href="javascript:void(0);"> text
</a>
"OpenWindow3" is a JS script.
I tried replacing them with normal anchors, but things got out of hand and I
had to first clean up the mess!
What do you think?

No, it can't.

cannot resolve or follow any JavaScript. The same applies to links using
any form of scripting - vbScript, Javascript, PHP etc.
