Thanks Jim, Your sugestion worked perfect for me!! I have another question: After i validate this URL i want to put a link with this URL in my page. The problem is that if the URL is like (www.aol.com), when i create the link, this URL is appended with the URL of my site. The result is a link pointing to: http://<mywebsite>/www.aol.com But if the URL is like (http://aol.com), then the link is created correct. Is there a way to avoid the first situation... so the link is created correct? Thanks again, Wagner. You could always do a string comparison for http(s)? in the url
