A nice utility. It has nothing to do with validation, though. (And beware that automated link checking is limited, out of necessity; it effectively looks at HTTP headers only, not the actual document that the link points to, so that if the destination of a link is replaced by a page with completely different content, no automatic checker will tell you about it. So the phrase "link checking" perhaps promises a little too much.) > However, if you use the reccommended method to add a "check this page" link to > your site, by adding a link to (1), this page returns a "302: redirect code". > http://validator.w3.org/check/referer Well, why would you do such a thing? It sounds odd to ask your _readers_ to check your page for you, doesn't it? -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
