Description
On a website hosted on an internal network, we use links to a network share using href="//computername/sharename". YUI appends http:// to the front of this, rendering the links useless.
#1
Seems like this may be an intentional behavior in the editor's javascript. It also doesn't allow you to enter in anything that looks like XSS attempt.
#2
Yeah this is an internal YUI Editor behavior. If anyone can look through the docs and find an override for this I will be happy to update the code with a new feature. Patch also welcome.
#3
It would be nice if YUI developers could make a little checkbox to denote 'this is local internal link, do not prepend http://'
Until then, use the automagic link wizard like normal.
Then enter plaintext/html code editing view and manually delete the 'http://' from your link's href. Be sure to exit the code view before saving or it will lose your changes.
Silly but critical.
