What happens when you you have an http:// in there? Your href should never just be www.somedomain.com anyway as that will attempt to load that as a document in the current domain's directory structure.

If you have an <a> tag with content that is a domain name e.g. : <a href='www.google.com'>www.google.com</a> if you set the href attribute (via jquery or natively) to another domain name - it will change the innerHTML to reflect this. E.G. $('a').attr("href", "www.yahoo.com") will turn this into <a href='www.yahoo.com'>www.yahoo.com</a> If the innerHTML is not a domain. then it won't do this. You can see that the IE programmers we obviously trying to do something helpful here - but too much magic is a bad thing : just wasted 1/2 an hour on this . Jonah
