another protocol like ftp. ("^(https?|ftp)://")
function checkurl(input){
if(NOT REFindNoCase("^https?://",input))
input = "http://" & input;
return input;
}
Form.myURL = checkurl(Form.myURL);
Do that before inserting in the database. No need for validation, just
assume the user typed the url without the protocol.
