heres my code - function Validate_URL(url) { var iurl = url.value; var v = new RegExp(); v.compile("/^(((ht|f){1}(tp:[/][/]){1})|((www.){1}))[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_+.~#?&//=]+$/;"); if (!v.test(iurl.value)) { url.style.backgroundColor = 'yellow'; } return true; }
no matter what i put in url, say http://www.abc.com/newpage.html, it returns false. how come?
