filtering http://

[Moooink]

is there a way to validate a form to check and see if a user has included the http:// in a url form. having trouble with people simply typing

http://www.blah.com,

and this is causing problems. is there a snipplet anywhere that has this validation code, or anything like that? thanks

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
function checkHTTP(field) {
if (field.value.indexOf(&quot;

http://&quot;)

!= 0) {
alert(&quot;You forgot the

http://&quot;);

return false;
}
}
</script>

<input type=&quot;text&quot; onblur=&quot;checkHTTP(this);&quot;/> =========================================================
if (!succeed) try();
