Hey everyone.


My question was, how do I post links outside of my website?
I know that seems like a stupid question... but let me show you what I mean.

Whenever I put <a href="blah blah">Blah</a> on my website, it seems to work until I try to click it, and it gives me a dead link.

For example, if I were to make a link to "www.barbie.com", and I try to click that link, I get-
"http://sorikusmusic.batcave.net/www.barbie.com"

o_O

I don't get why it does that... does anyone know how to get around it? All I want to do is link OUT of my webpage. Not have a link inside my domain. Becuase, "http://sorikusmusic.batcave.net/" is my domain/website..
Do you see what I'm talking about?
Yeah..
And I've been looking for the past 2 hours for ANYTHING to work. :( But nothing seems to.

Soo...HELP!
Please?
I'll give you a cookie...:(

You have to prefix your links with the protocol they use, otherwise it will be interpreted as a relative URI based in your domain.

Have you tried "http://www.barbie.com"?

using XP Home and Firefox 2.0,this is what i did to test.
open notepad
set up html code to your webpage
saved as HTMLTESTER.html in My Documents
the attachment is what i see with your web url supplied.
IF this url is what you want others to see,I have no problems [ assuming you correctly coded the html]

i think you missed the question. it was about links, not the looks of the site visually.

jti has the correct answer. adding http:// into the href value for the links will correct the problem.
