How URLs entered
in Chat Are handled
Every new line to the chat output is swept to look for either
'http://' or 'www.'. If the chat applet finds either keyword, the URL is extracted and placed on the status display area as: 'URL: http://www.yourdomaintyped.com'. Then, if you click on the display area when it starts with 'URL', it opens your URL in a new browser window (or, if you put a frame with the name 'web' into your interface, the URL will open there). The thing for users to remember is to type a space after typing the URL if it is not the end of their utterance. And, users will have to type the http:// in front of domains that don't start with www. (though we could write a much finer level of control with bloat as a consequence).
