    Is there some program (preferably mac) or firefox plugin that can check a local site for links just listed like this:

    Code:

    I’ve tried to use some other link checker programs, but whenever it tries the # link, it thinks it’s a good link because it would go to http://www.whatever.com/index.php#

    Is there something that will let me specify what to look for in the href quotations?

    Thanks.

    In Dreamweaver, or I’m sure any other editor:

    Command-F
    href="#
    Find all

    I’m talking about a site-wide search, like if you had 15-30 pages.

    I don’t believe there is any tool that will do this for you, besides downloading the site and using your code editor to do a search of all the files within your project. Dreamweaver can do this, Coda, Textmate, etc.

    Alternately, you can use Firebug to search for the "#" character, or "href="#"" if you would prefer (just use the search bar in the upper right of the FIrebug window) but I don’t believe you can search multiple files at once. You’d have to do it one page at a time.

    Falken, he’s talking about a local site though.

    Sorry for taking a while to get back to this!

    If you have Dreamweaver (please confirm!) it’s very simple to do exactly what I said.

    Simply select the directory of the site (in DW), then Ctrl-F, type in href="#, then "Find All" (or Alt-L).

    I do this constantly for site wide searches on sites that are 2,000+ pages.

    I’m using Coda. I’ll probably try this same technique and see if it works in Coda as well.

    Sorry, missed your comment about it being a local site. Yes, Coda can do this.

    — Hit Command-F to bring up the find dialog
    — Make sure to check the "find in" checkbox in the left files column
    — specify what you are looking for in the first "find" input box
    — Hit the "find" button just below the "find" input box

    I use this quite often myself.
