Hi All
One thing that often cheeses me off when I am trying to get information off
the web in a hurry, is the number of linking web sites that do not work
would it be possible to have something like this?

<a href="http://www.403.com"  onerror=" webmaster@this.web.site.com ">This
web site is worth going to</a>

were "onerror" is a new attribute, for future browsers.

If the linking website is down the browsers could automatically email the
site webmaster with a browser generated Email to say the linking address
does not
work. and may all those 403 error messages go away

from me, Eric
