[FX.php List] Messed up Up Outgoing Links

[Joel Shapiro]

Hi William

I'm glad that fixed things.

I was going to suggest that before you posted your link, because  
without the "http://", a basic link remains inside the current domain  
(or even directory) -- so you need to explicitlly tell it to go back  
out to the Internet via http://

e.g. If you had some other page *within* your current directory (on  
the same domain), you could simply use:
   <a href="some_other_page.php">click here</a> , which would be  
equivalent to linking to the full URL:
   <a href="http://thisdomain.com/some_other_page.php">click here</a>

Now go get some sleep! :-)

-Joel
