Lesson 10 Continued
 

Working With and Verifying Hyperlinks

Now you see why keeping your *hyperlinks* in working order is a must to keep your website running at it's best. Once you've added links to your site, it's easy in FrontPage to verify there functionally. One way is to click on your report icon view.*  This Site Summary dialog box will pop up giving you many options.

Choose the *? Unverified hyperlinks* option, A pop up will appear asking if you want FrontPage to verify your links, click yes.  You will then see the following process ( see below graphic).

Once all links are verified *checked* you can safely publish your website.

If any of them are not verified, you will need to go to that link and correct the error.  Be it a miss-typed URL or maybe you linked to another site and that site owner has moved the page.  You will have to find the new location and use the new hyperlink.  Sometimes you link to another's website (s) - material and then the website is taken down.  In this case you would have to either find the material on another web site or take out the hyperlink to said material.

Recalculate hyperlinks for a web or subweb

This feature is available on webs hosted by web servers running SharePoint Team Services from Microsoft or FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 only.

1. On Tools menu, point to Server, and then click Administration Home.
2. On the Site Administration page, under Server Health, click Recalculate the web.
3. Click Recalculate.

Note You do not need to recalculate hyperlinks for a web or subweb if all your links are set up and maintained by SharePoint Team Services or FrontPage 2002. You need to recalculate hyperlinks only if you have set up some hyperlinks manually.

NOTE: Don't link to another site's graphics or sound files without permission. This could slow the site you've linked to down or cause the site owners to pay for the added bandwidth your generating off there site.  When in doubt ask about linking to an External file.
