Let's imagine I have this text:
Hi, my name is Pablo and my home page is http://zad0xsis.net
How can I detect and validate the URL so it automatically wraps it into <a href="the detected url">the detected url</a>
? Thanks!

You could use a regex:
var s = 'Hi, my name is Pablo and my home page is http://zad0xsis.net'; var exp = /(\b(https?|ftp|file):\/\/[-A-Z0-9+&@#\/%?=~_|!:,.;]*[-A-Z0-9+&@#\/%=~_|])/ig; s = s.replace(exp,"<a href=\"$1\">$1</a>"); alert(s);
Can also try the jquery linkify plugin @ http://code.google.com/p/jquery-linkify/
Easy to use -
$('.section').linkify();
Pretty much does the same as mentioned by Darin.
