Is the CS4 Link Checker Broken?

The Link Checker in CS4 correctly shows me my broken links. In the Files tab, I create a new file to fix one of the broken links. I run the link checker again, and it still reports the file as missing, even though it is now listed in the files tab.
If I exit Dreamweaver, come back in, and run the link checker again, it runs correctly (it doesn't show the link as broken).
Is this a user error or a bug?
Brian

Hi
This is not really a 'bug', it just takes cs4 a while before including your new file into the site cache. To give you some idea of how long, try cut/paste a file from your os's file browser into dreamweaver.

The documentation links are broken......

This page contains installation, migration, and upgrade documentation as well as product and component release notes. For information on using Oracle Application Server, refer to the Oracle Application Server documentation library. The library is available on another disk in the Oracle Application Server CD-Pack or on the Oracle Technology Network.
This is the exactly text in the installations guides after read and install OAS 9.0.4 (the installation release notes would be integrates in the installation docuement...) in a cold failover cluster (I have installed a lot of things and I don't know what heaven they are for... I haven't seen any guide either in the CD or in documentation pages and all the links to administrator or user guides are broken... also would be great any guides about tunning OAS.
These are so strange things...??? All searchs like 'OracleAS administrator guide' return marketing results and white paper they are absolutly unuseful...
Well... What i need?? just few things....
1.- How to start, stop and monitoring OracleAS. scripts and things like these....
2.- How could I deploy and standar J2EE application in this cluster...
3.- Everything I have installed following oracleAS 10g application guide what it is for... and what i need to start stop (and how) it works whith minimun requierements...
4.- I have installed OAS in the same machine where I have Oracle 9i database (It is so strange thing???) how could I start both at the same times whith my two oracle homes after I have renamed the original oracle to oracle.orig following installation guide.... (two listeneres, two oracle homes, how....)
5.- And where are agents examples for Cold fail over cluster in a sun solaris???
I have spend 5 days and I still doesn't have anything just the database (which documentation is wonderful) Where could I find documentations so wonderful like you have for databases?? or oracleAS are beta releases???

All OracleAS 10g 9.0.4 user guides and documentation are available here:

Basic webpage link checker

Hello all,
I am attempting to write a basic link checker to parse an html page and determine if any links are dead. I found a couple tutorials online, and am using one of them to test a webpage. However, i am running into multiple problems. The basic link checker verifies links by using the http HEAD request, it then checks the response code and determines from there if the link is dead.
However, I have two major problems with this:
1) How can I verify links when they are not using http, for instance a ftp link on a webpage?
2) Sometimes when I parse link, i am losing the protocol from the link....
ie. href="http://www.ibm.com/systems/x/=>href="//www.ibm.com/systems/x/"
             Reader rd = getReader(rootURI);
              // Parse the HTML.
              kit.read(rd, doc, 0);
              // Iterate through the elements
              // of the HTML document.
              ElementIterator it = new ElementIterator(doc);
              javax.swing.text.Element elem;
              System.out.println("Starting Validation from: " + rootURI);
              while ((elem = it.next()) != null) {
                SimpleAttributeSet s = (SimpleAttributeSet)elem.getAttributes().getAttribute(HTML.Tag.A);
                if (s != null) {
                  System.out.println("attributeSet: " + s);
                  String link = (String)s.getAttribute(HTML.Attribute.HREF);
                  System.out.println("Validating: " + link);
                  validateHref(link);
                }else{
                  //System.out.println("Attribute set is empty");
                  //flag this to user
              }This is the block of code i am using to extract the link from the html source. My console output looks like this:
[stdout]
attributeSet: href=//www.ibm.com/systems/x/ class=left-nav-overview
Validating: //www.ibm.com/systems/x/
[stdout]
However, looking at the html source, the link should be http protocol....ie. http://www.ibm.com/systems/x , since i later check to make sure that http protocal urls start with "http:", these links that do not have http: at the beginning are being ignored...
Can someone please help and explain to me how I can fix this? Also, i am eventually planning to turn this into more of a web spider, and traverse levels of pages checking and validating the links.
Thank you,
Nick

Link Checking

If anyone recalls, there was a little window that opened separately in Adobe GoLive that showed what was linked to what you had selected. My question is does anyone know if there is something similar to that in Dreamweaver? That was really useful because we have a big site. We have accidentally deleted linked things so that is why I am asking.

Hi
I believe the dreamweaver link checker is not as good as the go-live one, (only what I have heard).
But if you select the following: File - Check Page - links, this will open dreamweavers link checker.

Link checker does not seem to see some broken links-why?

Hi,
I have a problem with the link checker, it does not seem to report some broken links. Here is the context in which it happens.
My site root folder contains (subset) :
index.php
Templates/child_userarea.dwt
user-area/downloads.html
(The file downloads.html is based on child_userarea.dwt.)
In the template, I have <a href="../../index.php" title="Home page">Home</a>.
In downloads.html, this link appears as <a href="file:///M|/Website/index.php" title="Home page">Home</a>.
According to this post http://forums.adobe.com/message/934203#934203 by Murray, this is because Dreamweaver (CS4 in my case) thinks that index.php is outside the site root folder. I understand it thinks so because indeed ../../index.php points to the folder parent of the root folder. What I don't get is why doesn't the link checker report that ../../index.php does not exist? (And I'm sure it doesn't, there is no file called index.php outside the root folder.)
Emilie

That's the thing, it is correct! I have checked many times. Here is what is says:
and M:\Website\CERC15\ does exist.
For the time being, I have corrected the paths in the template, so for that particular file, it is now ok. However, I have no idea whether other paths are wrong since I am not sure any longer whether they are spotted by the link checker. I searched for other instances of file:///M|/Website and there is none left.
I suspect this is just one more problem due to another problem non-identified so far (see e.g.http://forums.adobe.com/thread/506149?tstart=30). Since I renamed a big batch of files, I have had problems after problems: the templates disappearing (see that other post); I also lost all the files in 4 other folders (files for download linked to the pages through <a> tags); and Dreamweaver has become particularly slow (but this seems to have been fixed with erasing the cache and the personal preferences).
I'd like to start from scratch again (and why not reinstall Dreamweaver), but I don't know how to recreate the site from zero without loosing anything (e.g. links to templates).

Dreamweaver 8 - Problematic Broken Link Check

On a regular basis I use Dreamweaver 8's broken link checker
to convert
relative links to absolute throughout single HTML files.
Once upon a time, I could use the results pane to quickly
replace all
of the broken links. Ever since installing Dreamweaver 8
(upgraded from
MX) I've had the following problem with the link checker:
1. It seems to find all of the broken links correctly,
however, when I
try to change them into absolute, it doesn't actually make
the changes.
2. Sometimes it even makes incorrect changes to the path of
the link,
such as changing the image link to a .html link randomly (I
have no
idea how this happens!)
3. When it asks if I'd like to replace the other references
to the same
file, and I respond yes, it does nothing.
After researching this topic somewhat, I have found temporary
solution,
but it's driving me crazy and I'm looking for a long-term
resolution
for this issue.
If I delete my WinFileCache-xxxxxx.dat file (under User >
Application
Data > Macromedia > Dreamweaver 8 > Configuration)
before opening
Dreamweaver, the problem is resolved until the end of that
specific
session. As soon as I close Dreamweaver and reopen it, the
problem
returns.
I understand that by deleting the WinFileCache file I am
basically
starting with a clean slate, which is why this method is
temporarily
effective. However, this is a daily problem for me and I'm
sick of
having to do it every single time I use the program....
SO...if any of you have any thoughts, suggestions, or similar
complaints, please share - I'm desperate to find a long-term
solution!
Thanks!

Give me an example of what it finds and what you want to
change it to,
please.

I would have to see this happen to believe it.

The real question is - why are you regularly getting broken
links? The only
reason I can think of is that your local site is actually on
a remote,
shared network drive, and there is intermittant connectivity
to it due to
some recurring network anomaly. Can you tell me how your site
is defined?

Templates show up as having broken links in site link check

CS6
I have about 20 templates for my site, and a couple of them show up as having broken links when I do a check links site wide search?
When I make changes to these particular templates now, the new links and associated pages will show up as having broken links also?
Then when I map the new pages to the correct page, I get the template is locked message?
I suspect the problem starts with why are the templates being included in the link check to begin with.
Any thoughts will be appreciated.

Windows XP Pro, SP3. Firefox 3.6.3. Ever since updating to this version a few weeks ago I can no longer do a right click of the mouse and check the properties of an active url link on webpages. I've always had the option before. I want this feature back!!!!

In Firefox 3.6 Properties has been removed from the right click context menu.
You can use ''View Image Info'' or ''View Page Info'' in the right click context menu to see the (image) properties.
You can use the above mentioned extension (Element Properties 6) to get that context menu item back.

How to set a list form field data value that is linked to another document library's data when the link gets broken!!??

In summary, I have created 3 document libraries and one issues list in a site collection.
The issues list has a form that has mainly been created in SharePoint 2010 but tweaked in InfoPath 2007 and one of the fields links to the title of a document in the first document library (so an issue can be linked/referenced to a particular document).
This all works great until I want to move a document (using the workflow that I built) from document library 1, to document library 2 or 3 as this is what I've set up to move documents through the business process we are taking it through.
When this happens, the link between the issue that was raised originally against the document is broken and therefore you can no longer tell which document the issue is linked with.
Does anyone know a way of 'setting' the field that is linked to data in another document library on original selection/creation of the issue, so that when the link is broken the original data remains.
Any ideas welcome as I am stomped!!!
Cheers!!
Louis Maxwell

Hi Louis,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to keep the link field of the issue list working after moving the linked document.
Whether the link field is a lookup column or not ?
If so, due to the information source of lookup column cannot be changed, you need to add other lookup fields for document library 2 and document library 3. Just one lookup column corresponds one document
library. Then you can update the lookup column in the workflow when move the linked document. Such as when a document is moved to document library 2, you need to clear the lookup1 field (corresponding document library 1) and update the lookup2 field (corresponding
document library 2).
For updating the lookup column, you can refer to the following actions:
