An interesting problem with anchors in HTML

    I am trying to place anchors in my HTML, but, when I hover the anchor text, I see this in the status bar:
    
http://www.mysiteadress.com/"http://www.site-I-am-linking-to.com"
    Code (markup):
    If I click on the link, it takes me to the same type of link. I don't know what could cause this, obviously, I've never seen this before.

    Here is the code

    <body bgcolor="#ccc8b8">

<div class="main">

<img src="images/shed.jpg" alt="Shed-n-Deck, call today to schedule an installation 720-229-7682"/>

<div class="menu">
<ul>
<li><a href="www.shed-n-deck.com">Home</a></li>
<li><span>Sheds</span></li>
<li><a href=”http://www.shed-n-deck.com/decks.html”>Decks</a></li>
<li><a href=”http://www.shed-n-deck.com/gazebos.html”>Gazebos</a></li>
<li><a href=”http://webdesigninfo.wordpress.com”>Downloads</a></li>
</ul>
</div>


<h3>Why choose Shed-n-Deck to build your shed?</h3>
<p>Although price is an important factor when choosing who to install your backyard storage shed, it is only one of many reasons why Shed-n-Deck should be your choice.</p>
</div>
</body>
    Code (markup):
    Can anyone see anything wrong in this code?

    Change the first link
    <li><a href="www.shed-n-deck.com">Home</a></li>
    to
    <li><a href="http://www.shed-n-deck.com">Home</a></li>

    The other links have special characters around the link instead of double quote

    It might happen if you or someone uses a word processor such as Word to write the HTML.
