make a field that becomes html link

Hi

Ive searched and found similar questions but not this one exactly.

I have a field on the join form that asks for their website.

I want it to appear on their profile as a clickable link.

So they type in www.mywebsite.com and the php adds the rest and it ends up being

<a href="http://FIELDTEXTHERE">FIELDTEXTHERE</a>

I hope the code above makes it into the post in one piece !

I had this set up a a customised thing for me in my old site.

Is there an easy way to make a field do this?

Im sure a lot of other people must want it too... no?

It would not be a security problem would it?

Thanks

It can be a security issue if the website were the link go to is a fake site with malicous software for others.
So you never know if this is a safy site.... is my idea...

BirdTribes - okweb just did a mod for this http://www.boonex.com/unity/forums/#topic/Render-as-HTML.htm

I haven't tried it yet, but I plan to.

killhaai - that is silly - any link on the Internet could go to a bad website- in this case it is safer because admin could just delete that account, or never approve it in the first place.
