RE: Simple Question newie

it sees the link as a local reference
try
<a href="http://{normalize-space(.)}">

perhaps a solution where the url is checked for the existence of http:// or ftp:// or mailto: 
and if not appends it would be best.

Thanks!  Unfortunately this is working better but not correctly.  Now I am getting 
http://localhost:7001/jsp/yahoo.com

I am running this locally.  The jsp in which I am running this with is in the /jsp directory so it looks like it is just appending the yahoo.com to the end of my current directory.  I just need the http://yahoo.com.

??

Oh,

PS.

 since your input is
<anId>
yahoo.com
</anId>

not 
<anId>yahoo.com</anId>

you want <a href="{normalize-space(.)}">

otherwise the white space around your URL will end up in the attribute.

David
