thisis not: http://www.example.com/#example/1

in the example above "#example/1" this is used to tell the flash which portion it should load.

In the newest dev version, I've set up a switch on link fields that will turn off link validation - this will probably help you with that. Set back to active with more details if this doesn't work for you.

Title: Links to flash sites not valld ex: http://www.example.com/#/about/ » Links to flash sites using '#' can't be validated
Status: Postponed » Closed (duplicate)
Issue tags: +field validation

Dear followers of this issue: please read the project page info of link module for the further way to go for URL validation issues. There is already an main issue to collect and discuss ALL possible validation scenarios in general. That's why I will mark this one here as duplicate. I need all concentration inside the ONE and only discussion to move forward. After a D7 implementation we will provide a D6 backport.

Explanation: There are too many corner cases and URL validation feature requests of users to implement them all one after the other. We would have a 40 inüut fields and checkbox lines cluttered settings form for URL validation methods only, conflicting with each other randomly. I think, the better way is to find a maybe more complex but all-embracing new configuration method, which lets the admin better decide, how and when to validate the url. Including a good description which helps to set it up. This will surely lead to a new branch

BTW: there are other issues already about !, #, ? and so on.
