Abstract
A keyword adjective is used to identify a URL or address within script included in a markup language document. A Web page, or hypertext markup language document that includes script cannot readily be parsed to identify the URL or address. The present invention includes a predefined identifier as a keyword adjective immediately preceding the string comprising the URL or address referenced within script conforming to the European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA) specification. Use of the keyword adjective in this manner facilitates identification of the URL or address. Once thus identified, the URL or address can be modified to fix a broken link. This approach can also be used more generally to identify other entities (other than an address) for an object referenced in the script.
