How are unlinked (orphan) files detected?
Whether or not the scan for orphaned HTML files is accurate depends on whether, in the project definition, you selected the option “Linked files only.” If the program scans *all* HTML files, then it cannot know which are orphans. Files linked to by non-HTML code (such as CGI scripts, JavaScript, and VBScript) will not be detected as linked files since these items are not scanned by the program. Also, advanced HTML (such as onclick event parameters) are not recognized by the program. If you wish to double-check the correctness of any reported orphaned file, run the file name through HTML PowerSearch which will generate a report of all occurrences of that file name in the HTML files, determining whether or not it is truly orphaned (this doesn’t help for files referenced in CGI scripts).
