Html Link

[mdell]

This may seem trivial to most BUT... On my search result printf one column needs to be linked to outside web sites. Like field #1 businessname field #2 businesswebsite.

The print is: <TD>%s</TD>
<TD><A HREF=\"%s\">Web Site</A></TD> Where each %s is for each column. What I am getting for a link is http://www.mysite.com/www.theresite.com And we know that is not going to work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

why dont u try.
<a href=\"http://%s\">Web SIte</a>
sometimes if http is not pre-pended, the server creates a problem issue, does not know www.theresite is an url or just a page
under ur site.

cheers.

href="www.theirsite.com" is a relative URL.
href="http://www.theirsite.com" is an absoloute URL.

A relative URL gets appended onto the $SERVER_NAME, which is what is happening to you. If you specify the absolute URL, the link will not get appended onto the $SERVER_NAME. That should solve your problem.

Having the <A HREF=\"http://%s\">Web Site</A>
worked.

Thanks
