Repeated URL, http://xanga.com/http://xanga.com...Wha? Options

[lpdrummer]

OK On my xanga ( www.xanga.com/lpdrummer ) the menu buttons on the bottom have the link listed twice. This is in my code-

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><AREA SHAPE='rect' COORDS='519,499,602,515' HREF='http://www.xanga.com/claf"><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

but when you click the link, it takes you to http://www.xanga.com/www.xanga.com/claf

So, on all my buttons, the http://xanga.com prefix is on the beginning of each address. this is causing my menu buttons to take you to an invalid link.

After playing around with this, I figured out that you must add the "http://" prefix before every URL, or this happens. Is this a bug, or is something in my code causing this?

that's funny... sometimes i don't have to put the prefix http:// on my links.

Your image map links look fine to me.

Yea, it looks fine now, but before I put the "http://" before the URLs, it was not working.

If you put in a full address, such as www.xanga.com/whatever, you have to precede it with http://; otherwise, the web server will think you are using a relative path, and just append www.xanga.com/whatever to your current path.

Ahhh, OK, that would be what was happening then...

or it might be that you enclosed your url with both " and '
