can anyone help me with this javascript for validating url in aspx?
- by orrep
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?
