Verifying Links
To make sure links will work properly when a site visitor clicks them, you can
verify link destinations.
1. In Assets Links view, from the Assets menu, choose Verify All Links.
NetObjects Fusion displays a progress bar as it verifies and reports the status of
link destinations. It accesses the Internet to verify external link references. If
you are not connected to the Internet, the external links are not verified.
• When a link’s destination is found, the date and time of validation appear in
the Verify Status column.
• If a link’s destination is not found, the problem is described in the Verify
Status column.
When verification is complete, the progress bar disappears.
2. Resolve the destinations of broken links by double-clicking the link and editing
it as described in “Updating an External Link.”
Link verification takes place in the background, so you can switch to another view
and continue working while links are being verified.
To verify links through a proxy server, open the Windows Control Panel and
double-click the Internet icon. In the Internet Properties dialog, click the Advanced
tab, select Use Proxy Server, and configure your proxy server settings.
Note: When NetObjects Fusion cannot verify that an http, rlogin,
tn3270, snews, or JavaScript link is valid, “Unsupported URL
Type”displays in the Verify Status column. If NetObjects Fusion
cannot verify a mailto, news, or telnet link, no status displays.

Data objects are collections of fields of data. You can use a data object to publish
data without using CGI scripts or database programming. For information about
data objects, including how to create and delete them in Assets view, see
