Hi Folks, I have an html file: http://www.funquestdogsports.com/lessons.html Near the bottom of the page there is a link that points to a file that no longer exists (destinations.htm): <p align="center"><font color="#003300"><b>For more details,<a href="destinations.htm"> click here</a></b></font></p> When I run the W3C Link Checker at http://validator.w3.org:8001/ with all default options with this URL http://www.funquestdogsports.com/lessons.html, I get the following results: Parsing... done (179 lines in 0.0s). Checking anchors... done. Checking link http://www.funquestdogsports.com/lessons.html Checking link http://www.funquestdogsports.com/directions.html HEAD http://www.funquestdogsports.com/directions.html fetched in 1.3s Checking link http://www.funquestdogsports.com/graphics/surfer_tunnel_small.jpg HEAD http://www.funquestdogsports.com/graphics/surfer_tunnel_small.jpg fetched in 1.3s Checking link http://www.funquestdogsports.com/destinations.htm HEAD http://www.funquestdogsports.com/destinations.htm fetched in 1.3s Checking link http://www.funquestdogsports.com/ HEAD http://www.funquestdogsports.com/ fetched in 1.3s Checking link http://www.funquestdogsports.com/links.html HEAD http://www.funquestdogsports.com/links.html fetched in 1.3s Checking link http://www.funquestdogsports.com/stories.html HEAD http://www.funquestdogsports.com/stories.html fetched in 1.3s Checking link http://www.funquestdogsports.com/pack.html HEAD http://www.funquestdogsports.com/pack.html fetched in 1.2s Checking link http://www.funquestdogsports.com/graphics/logo.jpg HEAD http://www.funquestdogsports.com/graphics/logo.jpg fetched in 1.3s Checking link http://www.funquestdogsports.com/scheduling.html HEAD http://www.funquestdogsports.com/scheduling.html fetched in 1.2s Checking link http://www.funquestdogsports.com/instructor.html HEAD http://www.funquestdogsports.com/instructor.html fetched in 1.2s Checking link http://www.funquestdogsports.com/_themes/expeditn/expbul1d.gif HEAD http://www.funquestdogsports.com/_themes/expeditn/expbul1d.gif fetched in 1.3s Checking link http://www.funquestdogsports.com/fqstyle.css HEAD http://www.funquestdogsports.com/fqstyle.css fetched in 1.3s Processed in 16.7s.

Code Occurrences What to do 404 1 The link is broken. Fix it NOW! http://www.funquestdogsports.com/destinations.htm What to do: The link is broken. Fix it NOW! Response status code: 404 Response message: Not Found Line: 164 Checked 1 document in 16.8 seconds. ------------------------- That's great. When I try using the recursive option, it doesn't seem to catch this broken link. I'm using all of the default options for the Link Checker, but this time the URL is http://www.funquestdogsports.com/ and option "Check linked documents recursively, recursion depth" is checked and depth is set to 1. For the same lessons.html page checked through recursion, the results I get are: Processing http://www.funquestdogsports.com/lessons.html Settings used: Accept: application/xhtml+xml, text/html, */*;q=0.5 Accept-Language: en Sleeping 1 second between requests to each server Go to the results. For reliable link checking results, check HTML validity first. See also CSS validity. Back to the link checker. Checking anchors... done. Processed in 0.0s. Results Anchors Found 4 anchors. Valid anchors! Links Valid links! ----------------------------- It looks like the other files are successfully checked as it shows the list of HEAD requests. So what's going on here? I use Check Linked Documents Recursively option a lot. Do I need to change the depth? What else could be wrong? I'd appreciate any help I can get with this issue.
