Hello,

GoLive has a very useful feature which shows all broken links in your page with a red background. Can Dreamweaver do this ? How ? Is there any way to check if your page links are broken in Dreamweaver ?
 
I think so. If i have my site window open and i right click on a file, there is something about "check document links". Never tried it though. Run over to Macromedia and enter the forms if you don't find an answer here.
 
Yes, you can do this in Dreamweaver, although I'm not sure about a red indicator like the GoLive feature you're describing. I usually recreate my Site Cache then (with my site window open) choose Site > Check Links Sitewide. This runs through all my files and brings up a window with problem files and links. Double click on any of those files and it will open with the problem link selected for you.
 
I just did it the other day and it was NICE! I clicked on my main docs folder in the sites window. Then right clicked and hit check links. It did it's thing and opened a 'broken links' window with all the issues. Then i could click on the file in the 'broken links' window and it opened the file and highlighted the broken link. When i fixed it the file disappeared from the 'broken links' window. Smooth......
 
Thanks for indication ! Shortcut = F8 (or Shift-F8). It checks all links in the site control window. DreamWeaver rocks !
