Other option would be to run some js onBlur and if there's no http://, add it. But then somebody will complain that it changes their links...

You bet they would.  I'd be first in line.

I use root links frequently, such as /blog/. Adding http:// to the beginning would break them.

Best to keep it the way it's always worked -- prefill "http://"; and select it, IIRC.

The highlighting is browser dependent. I'll have to run some more tests to make it work in most (there are lots of supported browsers now: FF2, FF3, Opera on Mac, Linux and Windows; Safari on Mac and Windows; IE6, IE7 and soon IE8 on Windows. Yep, that makes 13-14!).

I think Matt's idea is best: onBlur look for links starting with www. and add http:// in front, as they definitely need that.
