Is there a way to check/verify links in a menu?

Unfortunately, there's no checker I've found that will read a js file and translate how the links are given into html links they will check. What I've done is to make a page with all the links copied to it, and the usual a href= coding then run it through a checker. The other way would be to go to all the links. And, don't forget to check your data where your site is, I forget what it's called but usually there's a history of visitors, errors etc.

Thanks for confirming my worst fears. I was afraid that would be the answer.

Cheers

I think many people put in text links in noscript tags so there are links for people without javascript enabled. If you do that, then you should be able to check the links that way. I just thought of that. Also, many people do an html sitemap page. At least that way, you could do one thing that would end up being useful for two other things :lol:
