Claim:
A computer-implemented method for detecting inaccessible resources in an unpublished webpage, comprising: prior to publishing the unpublished webpage: providing the unpublished webpage on an author client device, wherein the unpublished webpage includes at least one dependent resource identifier that identifies a dependent resource included in the unpublished webpage, wherein the dependent resource identifier identifies at least one member of a group comprising: a dependent resource governed by versioning and a dependent resource governed by security; decomposing, by a computer processor, mark-up language associated with the unpublished webpage to identify the at least one dependent resource identifier that identifies a dependent resource included in the unpublished webpage; in response to decomposing, generating a dependent resource array that includes the at least one dependent resource identifier that identifies a dependent resource included in the unpublished webpage; receiving the dependent resource array on a resource analyzer, wherein the resource analyzer is associated with at least one database storing dependent resources identified in the unpublished webpage; querying the database with the dependent resource identifier to determine a status of the dependent resource identified in the unpublished webpage by the dependent resource identifier; indicating a status identifier of the dependent resource in the dependent resource array in association with the dependent resource identifier identified in the unpublished webpage; sending the dependent resource array with the indicated status identifier of the dependent resource identifier to the author client device; and graphically conveying the status on the author client device in association with the at least one dependent resource identified in the unpublished webpage.
