I've been trying to find an answer to this question by searching the site but with no luck, so here I go.

I want to be able to put links to external sites in my articles, by using a simple <a href> tag. So I type in for example:

<a href="www.whatever.com">Link name</a>

and ez remakes it to

<link href='www.whatever.com'>Link name</link>

the problem is that it's being linked like this:

http://host/index.php/mysite/www.whatever.com

So what am I doing wrong here? I have the latest installement of ez publish 3.
also I can't get the classes to work with the link if I put in class="something" inside the <a> or link tag... seems like alot of people would have this problem or maybe I'm just doing it completely wrong.

Put http:// in front of your urls for external links.
