<h1 class="topictitle1">Viewing and navigating links</h1>
<div><div class="skipspace"> <p>To view links between files in a project:</p>
</div>
<ol><li class="skipspace"><span>Click <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">Window</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Show
view</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Links</span></span> </span></li>
<li class="skipspace"><span>In the Project Explorer view, click the file for which you want
to view links.</span></li>
<li class="skipspace"><span>To navigate through the Links view, you have the following options: </span> <ul><li>Click the plus (+) and minus (-) signs that are displayed preceding the
file icons. The + indicates that there are more links to display. To change
your view of the link relationships: <ul><li>Click the + sign in front of an icon to expand the link hierarchy</li>
<li>Click the - to collapse the link hierarchy</li>
<li>To change the focus of the Links view, right-click on the file you want
to have focus and click <span class="uicontrol">Become new center</span>.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Using the arrow keys, you can navigate from the currently selected link.
The right or left keys automatically expand a link if it can be expanded.
Also, navigating left and right using the arrow keys follows the path of
any expanded links in the direction you are navigating; if there are no expanded
links, then the (vertical) middle link is selected. </li>
<li>Since the view does not scroll automatically to show the currently selected
link, you can scroll the view using either CTRL+<i>arrowkey</i> to scroll
the view up, down, left or right, or the Page Up and Page Down keys to scroll
the view up and down.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="skipspace"><span>You can create links between files in different projects. </span> If you give focus to a file in a different project, the Links view
changes so that only files and links in that project are shown. Files that
are not in a project displayed in the Project Explorer are not shown in the
Links view.</li>
<li class="skipspace"><span>To view a list of broken links or links to files outside your project,
in the Web perspective click the <span class="uicontrol">Problems</span> tab.</span> <p>Broken links are marked with a <img src="../images/nwlnktsk.gif" alt="Broken Link Icon" />. To place your cursor on the
line of the source file where the broken link is specified, double-click the
broken link element in the Problems list.</p>
<div class="p"> <b>Note:</b> To
increase the number of broken link messages that can be displayed, complete
the following steps:<ol><li>Click <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">Windows</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Preferences</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Web Tools</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Links</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Validation
and Refactoring</span></span> and increase the number in the <b>Maximum
number of links validation messages on a project</b> field.</li>
<li> In the Problems view, display the filter dialog, and either un-check
the <b>Limit visible items to</b> check box or enter the same link number
you specified in the previous step.</li>
