Linking To A External Url - Currently Unsuccessful

When I try link a ext Url such as www.facebook.com it currently comes as - mysite.com/music/www.facebook.com Its linked: http://www.example.com, not just www.example.com.

Solution 2:

Try adding an http:// prefix to your URLs: http://stackoverflow.com/faq

You might find the HTML 4.01 specification interesting reading. (Probably not. But pay attention to the 12.4.1 Relative URIs section at the bottom of the page. :)
