C-Sharp (C#) Group: How to remove "http://localhost" from my URLs?

I am testing a web app that links to user defined URLs. I
want the link
to be the exact text the user provided but I can't seem to
get rid of
the "http://localhost"
prefix in the link. Note that I am user defined
email addresses for "mailto:" links and the same
problem occurs.

Is this something that will be removed when the site is
published?

All help is appreciated,
Lee

you need http:// in order to outside...

for instance <a
href="www.blah.com">blah</a> will go to
http://SERVER_NAME/ww
w.blah.com

You gotta go like <a href="http://ww
w.blah.com">blah</a> if you want to
go to http://www.blah.com
when the user clicks the link.

It works the same way for Redirect and Execute...

Weird, ok, thanks for the help

Well, turns out that doesn't work. Now my links take me to
"http://SERVER_
NAME/http://www.blah.com"

What is going on?

Are you using code to generate the link? If you are let us
see the
code.
Post the html link outputed to the browser.
Post a sample link that you have written.

Basically it looks like this:

string input = "www.google.com";
string linkText = "http://" + input;
SpanTable.InnerHtml =
"<table><tr><td><a href=" +
linkText + "> LINK
</a></td></tr></table>";

And then the link on the page becomes
"http://localho
st/http://www.google.com"
