Glad it was of some use, RT. There are so many ad-ins available for FireFox that sometimes the best and most useful get caught in the smoke screen of the ones with the bells and whistles. I know it has found some problems for me and has also been useful in learning what others are doing with their sites … knowing how many links are on a page can be important for some types of site and link evaluations … as just one example.

Thanks for dropping by and for your comment.

Indeed that LinkChecker is a valuable tool … big tip of the hat to Kevin Freitas for writing and maintaining it … he has other interesting FireFox add-ins as well: http://www.kevinfreitas.net/extensions/
… for years I ignored FireFox becuase I thought it was just another “my browser is better than your browser” uninary olympiad … then, I discovered how much work I could get done using the Extensions and I am well and throughly “hooked” on FireFox … those who aren’t taking advantage need to do so ASAP … it’s well worth the learning curve.

Dave,
That is a cool piece of software. It is a real shame to have broken links on a page. This will make life heaps easier.
Thanks
