Hi:
We have a webpage with a long list of links pointing to other relevant sites from the net. These sites have been researched by the business specialists. Now the issue is, how does one check if these links are active(not broken, lost, moved,etc.). This is presently being done manually. Is there some way of automating the process or a software tool available? The best example I can give is Frontpage which presents a visual image for personal sites with all the linked documents present on the local drive. Please write to me offline at meena_suhale -at- yahoo -dot- com
