Thanks for the response, works perfect. I am not sure I understand how it is working however. Are these comments correct:

function TalkPHP_MakeLinks(pWithinElement)
{
//if there is no DIV with this name, do nothing.
if (!pWithinElement)
{
return false;
}

//this var equals the DIV to be "edited"
var szContent = pWithinElement.innerHTML;
//this finds the HTTP and makes it a link...
pWithinElement.innerHTML = szContent.replace(/(http:\/\/.+?)[\s|\n]/ig, '<a href="$1">$1</a> ');
}

Can you explain this:

http:\/\/.+?)[\s|\n]/ig

Thanks again!
