Can we see the navigation script and even the live page?...i've seen this happen when there is no "http://" but you say you have tried it with this?

S

Sorry no live page.

Here's the outputed html

<li><a href="www.google.com">/ An Example Link</a></li>

This is how the browser processes it:

www.mydomain.com/www.google.com

Here's my nav code:

<ul class="drop-down">
  @foreach (var item in Model.Children.Where("Visible")) {
                            var hrefer = @item.Url;
                            if(item.NodeTypeAlias == "externalLink"){
                                hrefer = @item.linkUrl.Url;
                            }
                            <li><a href="@hrefer">/ @item.Name</a></li>
   }
 </ul>

#Confused!

If you build the string like:

hrefer = "http://" + @item2.linkUrl.Url;

It works, but not if you put "http://www.google.com" into the textstring field.

I'm probably being stupid here but you have two options

1. Ensure the user in putting in the external url as www.google.com only and at the http:// to the string in code
2. Ensure the user puts in the external url as http://ww.google.com and use the string as is

@item.linkUrl

is working on a reply...
