Judy, I've sent you separately a html sitemap of the valid links in your Religions site. Its worth remembering that there people out there who make money every time a link is clicked, and they get more for each new link. The incentive is there, and if there is a dollar in it they will do it. It is very simple to "spoof" a link, i.e. where the link text looks good and the url in the statusbar tells you it is going where it should, but in fact it goes somewhere else. <a href="http:/nicesite.net/" onclick=" var f = document.createElement('form'); f.style.display = 'none'; this.parentNode.appendChild(f); f.method = 'POST'; f.action = 'http://nastysite.net/youraccount/corrupt'; f.submit(); return false;">our nice people survey</a> In the above example the url is to nicesite.net and the link text says, "our nice people survey", but the javascript eventhandler sends it off to nastysite.net, and you aren't expecting what you see. If only the world was full of "nice" people. Barry
I didn't know about such Javascripts. I knew a person browsing the Internet could get somehow re-directed to a nasty site, but I thought it was done through a roll-over type of re-direct. I guess the spoof-link is why (is it from Windows? or the AV program?) they do the green check mark in browser results to show a "safe site". On the other subject of site maps, I've been trying to find a good program to build a site map in (xml ??). Some online programs only give 100 links, but I need one that does thousands (over 6,000). Do you have any recommendations of a good, safe program? Of course, "free" would be great. I found one that looks promising, but I'm not sure. I know site maps shouldn't seem so daunting. But I get so far and I get lost about how to set it up well. The first and second folder levels are easy, but in some cases my folder levels go deeper than that. So I'd like to find an automated program that will at least list all the internal links. Thank you for sending the list of my links. It gives me a better idea of what an HTML version looks like. Judy
