Dear All

For reasons which I will not go into, I would like to place a link in some of my product descriptions (in the shopping cart).

The product description form does not incorporate an editor. I therefore tried entering the URL manually in the usual way, as follows:

<a href="www.somewhere.com">go somewhere</a>

I was pleased to see that the link did come to life BUT, when I checked it, it had been changed by the system to:

<a href="mywebsite.com/shopping/www.somewhere.com">go somewhere</a>

Obviously this will not take me where I want to go. Can you please tell me where and how to disable this unwanted concatenation?

Alternatively, is another solution available so as to direct my users to the place I want them to go to?

Many thanks
Andrew

instead of using www.somewheretogo.com try http://www.somewheretogo.com. This is a common issue with many web applications.

Thank you so much - I did in fact remember this just before getting your message but felt too dumb to own up to it until now :(

I appreciate your help
