A method and system for automatically checking the validity of hyperlinks embedded in web pages being served to clients by these servers. In response to a web page request, a server will parse the document (step 412) and separate the hyperlinks from the other elements in the documents (steps 414, 416). The server will then review the hyperlinks to determine whether "dead links" are present (step 418). The server will then either remove the dead link or will strip away the tags that empower the link thus making the link look like plain text. The server will then reconstruct the document including the hypertext links and other elements and send the document to the requestor (steps 422, 424). |
