hyperlink

|

wrap

Anyone have a clue how I can use Jquery to find: http:// or www. and ends with .com, .org, .edu store that as a variable and wrap it in

<a href="variable">  <a/>

So I have a textarea and when people put in links, I would like to then make them into hyperlinks once they are posted.

Make sense?
