In the earlier thread <a>http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/custom-input-mask-for-a-valid-url#post-164463</a> we came up with a function to detect the absence of the http prefix and add it if needed to make it a valid URL and it seems to be working except that now we are getting the occasional prefix only which causes a broken link.</p> <p>I would like to determine how that prefix is getting there and prevent it? I would be a little surprised if users entered that much and nothing more.</p> <p>Is there a way to modify the earlier function and force the field to be blank if it only contains the http:// prefix? </p>
