basically, how do I grab a url variable with javascript and set it as a url?

I've found a script that prints the variable on the page, but that isn't a lot of help to me, and I'm not too good with js, so my attempts at altering the script failed dismally

anyone?

I am here!
I have got an idea about solution. Like if you have a div and want to turn all it's URLs into links( <a href="blalbha"> ), than just get text of that div in string, and use .split method. In that case you will get array of string, and use .forEach to check if there is any URLs. For that, just use this

function ValidURL(str) {
  var pattern = new RegExp('^(https?:\/\/)?'+ // protocol
    '((([a-z\d]([a-z\d-]*[a-z\d])*)\.)+[a-z]{2,}|'+ // domain name
    '((\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3}))'+ // OR ip (v4) address
    '(\:\d+)?(\/[-a-z\d%_.~+]*)*'+ // port and path
    '(\?[;&a-z\d%_.~+=-]*)?'+ // query string
    '(\#[-a-z\d_]*)?$','i'); // fragment locater
  if(!pattern.test(str)) {
    alert("Please enter a valid URL.");
    return false;
  } else {
    return true;
  }
}

Actually found this post here. And if in any string it returns true, just turn that string to URL. I think you can make changes in same array, after that just join that string using .join(" ")

you set a URL with document.location = "yourURL";

but what do you have so far? there is not enough information to understand what you want to do...

I think Spider may have moved on since he posted the question ..in 2002.

I've done this myself before (several times..)

Anthonidas why you down voted my post ? Isn't it helpful ?
Actually I think I must get banned for resurrecting dead post.

No it isn't!
Firstly, you answered a question posted 11 years ago, and secondly, your post does not answer the question...

No one mentionned any bans... why should you be banned? Just because --> my personal feeling <-- is, that this post is not useful? Don't worry, you won't.
