    I have a text box on my site for users to enter a link of their choice.

    What can I edit to have the http:// show up in the box automatically so they can just type www.theirsite.com instead of entering the http:// everytime?



    Link (optional) :[_________text box___________________]



    Any help with this is appreaciated.

    Thanks,

    <intput type="text" name="url" value="http://">

    Is that what you mean?

    Or (better), try something like this after submit:

    $url = $_GET['url'];
    if (strpos($url, "http://")===false) $url = "http://".$url;
