what are broken links on a website?, why do they happen?,
how to mend them?, do these hyperlinks have any life?, I use DW and when I use check links options it shows a few broken links, but the site seems to work fine, any ideas what is happenning?

Broken link mean dead link. However if you test ur website on your own machine/localhost it will look fine on your browser. Try to check it out on real time server enviroment.

If the link works fine when the site is online, then, in my mind, it is not a broken link...
What I call a "broken link" is, a link that either doesn't go directly to THE EXACT PAGE intended or, a link that yields a "404 PAGE NOT FOUND" error.
To check links on a page try validator.w3.org/checklink
