I am looking for some JS code that will search for URLs in text and put the HREF tags around it to make it a link.

Anyone have such a monster?

Thanks!

well it's sort of possible but would suffer from the same problems as this does

I am not looking for something perfect as this is not for a public web site.

I cracked open my JavaScript Bible and wrote the following which has flaws, but works for my needs:

function linkURL(strTxt)
{
  strTxt = strTxt.replace(/(([fh]+t+p\:\/+)+(\S+))/gi,"<a href=\"$1\" target=\"_new\">$1<\/a>");
  strTxt = strTxt.replace(/([a-z0-9\-\.]+\@[a-z0-9\-]+\.\S+)/gi,"<a href=\"mailto:$1\" target=\"_new\">$1<\/a>");
  return strTxt;
}
