To include > javascript in a page, such as opening a new window, is relatively > common. Is this really not supported or am I doing something wrong? > > Code: 501 Protocol scheme 'javascript' is not supported The link checker does not support the javascript: scheme[1]. Also, note that the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines[2] using "javascript:" links[3] makes your document not accessible; this is a priority[4] 1 checkpoint: [Priority 1] A Web content developer must satisfy this checkpoint. Otherwise, one or more groups will find it impossible to access information in the document. Satisfying this checkpoint is a basic requirement for some groups to be able to use Web documents.
