[OT] Webmasters help!
The Lasombra
I have a website up,
and I keep getting complaints that the
links are broken.
I clear my IE history, reboot (so that the site is not
cached locally), go to the site, and all of the links
work perfectly.
Others tell me the links don't work.
What else can I do to check these pages?
Help!!
Thanks.

I went through every link on the site and everything came
up perfectly for me...

I don't think that there *is* anything else that you can do
to check the links. If they don't work for someone else,
it could be their browser, it could be the hops they have
to take to get to the site, it could be UUNET or another
backbone, it could be anything.
But one thing it is not is the site. All the links are fine.

Fine for IE, maybe.
Most of the links I see include backslashes "\" instead of
slashes "/". This is probably the problem.
While some browsers cover certain HTML errors (by substituting a
slash for the backslash in this case), some do not.

Just been to look at the site. The backslashes are definitely the
problem. I heard a rather disturbing story to the effect that IE will
not only fix backslashes in links, but make them appear as slashes not
only in the links but in the page source itself when viewed, so that the
problem becomes completely invisible and unrepairable to anybody using
IE. I don't know if this is actually true, but it's worth a try -- you
might want to get some small freeware browser and check your page out
(assuming you don't want to get Netscape).

Thanks all.
I have updated the site to use forward slashes instead
of backslashes, and they still work for me. Hopefully
this will take care of the other peoples problems.
Thanks again.
