> Mapping Broken Links Using eValid's Sitemap Feature

  Broken links in a website can sometimes mean trouble -- especially if
  the page it refers to is a vital component of the website.  A feature
  built into eValid's Site Mapping capability is the ability to map
  every page it visits to find broken links in a website.  It'll do this
  even if the pages are dynamically generated by the server.

  (1) From the eValid browser toolbar click on "eValid > Site Analysis
      Mode > Site Analysis Preferences" to bring up the SiteMap
      Preferences Menu.

  (2) Click and change the Search Depth to "2".

  (3) Click "Full Browser Mode" in the control section of the
      preferences This lets you see how eValid visits each and every
      link on the page to check if the link is broken or not.

  (4) Click "Never Use Cache" in the Cache Control Section of the
      preferences so eValid will download and render each component of
      the page for the most accurate result.

  (5) Click on "Define Filters" and select "Broken or 
      Unavailable Pages"

  (6) Navigate to the website you want to analyze.  Start the SiteMap
      search for broken links by clicking on the Site Map icon or F3.
      Remember: SiteMap will search only the URLs at and below the
      starting URL.

  (7) For fun, your might try doing a depth = 2 broken link SiteMap
      search on www.cnn.com.  Do you find their site has any broken
      links?

	Hint: Expect to find broken/unavailable links on any site that is 
	undergoing rapid changes. 

  Sit back, relax, and watch while eValid maps the website and finds
  broken links in front of your eyes!
