Removing a link is a lot easier than creating one. As a matter of fact, it
only takes a second or two of your precious time. There are several dif-
ferent ways to remove a link. You can delete the contents of the Link
box in the Properties panel, use the Remove Link command, or delete
the image or text and the link. Removing an entire link is simple, just
select the graphic, or text that represents the link, and then press the
Backspace (Win) or Delete (Mac) key.

You can use the General section of the Preferences dialog box to spec-
ify how you want to update links in your Web pages. You can have
Dreamweaver always update links, never update links, or prompt you
when links change. Dreamweaver only updates links in your local root
site. The remote site doesn’t change until you update the files on the
site. If the updating processing is taking too long, you can create a
cache file to store information about all the links to speed up the
process. The cache file is managed and maintained by Dreamweaver in
the background while you work.

After you create or change a link, it’s important to test the link to make
sure it works the way you want. You can test a link by previewing the
Web page with a link in a browser or Live view (New!) in Dreamweaver,
or by opening the linked page. When you want to test a link of any kind,
the best way is to preview the page in a browser or Live view and click
the link you want to test. When you use Live view to test a link, you can
set options to follow links and show/use the Browser Navigation bar
(New!) to browse between pages. If you want to test a link to another
page and open the linked page, the best way is to open the linked page
from within Dreamweaver.

Use any of the following methods:
◆ Live View. Click the Live View

If you need to change a link across the entire site, you can use the
Change Link Sitewide command to manually make the change you
want. This command is useful when you want to delete a file other doc-
uments are linked to and redirect the link to another document. After
you change a link sitewide, the selected file become an orphan (no
documents link to it), which you can safely delete without breaking
links.
