problem with <asp:HyperLink ------

[newhorizon]

I am trying to let the users test if their web adresses are working or
not. so they input their web adress and click a button and then the
asp:hyperlink will point to their website. the problem is when they
click asp:hyperlink points to

http://www.mysite.com/myWorkingDirectory/www.userWebSite.com

instead of

www.userWebSite.com


I am using the following.


HyperLink1.NavigateUrl = webSite.Text;
//webSite is a Text Box

you may be doing: HyperLink1.NavigateUrl += webSite.Text;
if thats the case just remove the +

on the other hand, you might need to add http:// to your string

No in my code i have

HyperLink1.NavigateUrl = webSite.Text;

then you need to add "http://" to your string, like this:
HyperLink1.NavigateUrl = "http://" + webSite.Text;

it works allright thank you Alex.

then you need to add "http://" to your string, like this:
HyperLink1.NavigateUrl = "http://" + webSite.Text;
