On my site, I would like to have jQuery automatically convert all plain-text URLs to links.
For example, if I have the following in the BODY tag of my Web page: Go to http://groups.google.com to go to the Google Groups home page. I want it to be converted in to this: Go to <a href="http://groups.google.com">http://groups.google.com</a> to go to the Google Groups home page. I'm sure the prepend() and append() functions will be used, but how do I tell jQuery how to pick URLs out of the Web page, if they are not surrounded by separate tags? I'm sure if each URL was in a SPAN tag it would be much easier. Any ideas? Thanks, stickynote427
