Verifying Links

ColdFusion Studio simplifies the job of maintaining sites by testing each
selection and reporting any problems it finds. You can verify links to local HTML
files, graphics and other media files and other Web sites. By default, ColdFusion
Studio checks all links in a selection, but you can skip specific links. Tags in
