The invention relates to a method for providing hypertext data through a hypertext server (43) on a portable data carrier (10) for a terminal (80) connected to the portable data carrier (10), and to an accordingly adapted portable data carrier (10). The hypertext server (43) receives (100) a hypertext query of the terminal (80) and thereupon provides (200) hypertext data relating to the hypertext query. The hypertext server (43) then sends (400) the provided hypertext data as a hypertext response to the terminal (80). The method is characterized in that upon the providing (200) of the hypertext data at least one hyperlink contained in the hypertext data is checked and the checked hyperlink is contained in the hypertext response.
