I keep getting an error message in my selenium java project. 

for(WebElement link:AllTheLinkList) {
    if (link.getAttribute("href") != null
        && ! link.getAttribute("href").contentEquals("javascript"))
    {
        activeLinks.add(link);
    }
}

// Get total amount of links in the page
System.out.println("Size of active links and images --->"
                 + activeLinks.size());

Error message is:

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.StaleElementReferenceException: stale element reference: element is not attached to the page document

The problem usually is that the page, where you are obtaining the links, is refreshed during your loop. An option to solve that is obtain a list of strings with the href values and after start the loop, all the objects are Strings and that doesn't change.

In another hand, you can do a loop with a numeric iterator, and the last instruction before the next loop iteration could be obtain again the AllTheLinkList.
