Links (Dead)

Dead links inevitably occur as pages are modified, moved, or deleted and quickly damage a web site’s credibility.

Standards

  1. Each IHS web developer is responsible for monitoring and maintaining links residing on all their web pages.
     
  2. Dead links should be corrected or removed as soon as possible.
     
  3. External links should be monitored and maintained.
     
  4. Relative rather than absolute linking should be used wherever possible. Reference the "Files" section of this document.

Guidelines

Reference the HHS World Wide Web Applications and the Internet Best Practices and Guidelines, http://www.hhs.gov/progorg/oirm/bestguid.html for additional information.
