check for http?

[Bam]

Hey gang.

have a quick question, and I have searched for the answer, but maybe I am
not asking the correct question.

I have a form that a user submits their clan's website, and roster page.
What I want to do, is check to see if the field submitted contained
"http://" and if not, add it to the field submission.

I know i can make this easier, and put the http:// in the field as a default
value, but i want to know how to do this with a bit of form validation or
something.

not asking for how it is done, but maybe how to ask my question to get a
better search.

Thanks,

This is basic VisualBasicScript.
If you do not know this yourself,
you better first learn some scripting,
before you go on.
Search for a tutorial.

<%
f = UCase(request.form("myInputField"))
If Instr(f,"HTTP://")<>1 Then f = "http://" + f

I would not recomment one,
since [I hope] I am a bit beond using one,
so I advised searching for one.

<http://www.google.com/search?q=vbscript tutorial>

returns 2,850,000 hits.

There must be one that fits the OP,
knowledge level and language wize.

Dumb news readers stick it at the top even though that's not where I want
it.

One of 2,850,000. So that's not very useful is it?

Here is a better response. Feel free to use it yourself the next time you
feel like telling a newbie off for being a newbie.

You can learn more about VBScript and it's use in ASP at:-

http://www.w3schools.com/vbscript/default.asp
and
http://www.w3schools.com/asp/default.asp

When you've followed these tutorials you can get more details here:-

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sx7b3k7y.aspx

and this is also useful in ASP
