hi, Well, it's not that I want broken links. I run a document production system that sometimes can produce broken links. What I was thinking of was using jquery on my build reports page so writers could easily see their broken links. This would be for development only (build reports). Maybe it's a bad idea--I get what you're saying about the load. I thought a call to the href might return 404 or some 'failed' signal. I think you're saying I'm thinking the wrong way about how to address the problem of broken links. thanks, --Tim
