local address inserted in front of links - El Forum - 01-05-2009
[eluser]I666I[/eluser]
Hi,
I'm trying to get my view to allow me to insert a hyperlink from an address that is pulled from the db. The link shows up, but no matter what I do, the current location is always prefixed to the url (e.g. www.site.com will link to http://currentsite.net/codeigniter/www.site.com).
I've tried removing the base path from config, etc.. but can't seem to find the problem.
Here is the view code:
Code:
echo "Online Address: " . "<a href=" . '"> $row->online_addr . '"' . " target=\"_blank\" />" . $row->online_addr . "</a>" . "</b><br>";eh... the forum is screwing up the code example, hopefully it conveys the idea. The code works, just not totally.
Any help would be appreciated.

This is not a result of your code, but browsers behaviour (and your falt
)Are you forgetting the http:// ? Right? Thats why browser thinks its a relative linke and acts acordingly...

FACEPALM
You hit the nail on the head. I hate it when these little things bugger you up and the solution is so simple.
Thanks very much for your help.
Cheers!
