URL: http%3A%2F%2F

[Bertman]

Hello,

I want a site to open a URL that he get's from a database.

<frame name="inhoud" target="hoofd"
src="linkupdate.asp?UrlId=<%=FP_FieldURL(fp_rs,"UrlId")%>">
<frame name="hoofd" scrolling="auto" src="<%=FP_FieldURL(fp_rs,"URL")%>">

The URL for expample: www.mcafee.com
He want's to open: http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Emcafee%2Ecom
And then you get an error, how can I change it ?

When you make a normal hyperlink on a site with
<%=FP_FieldURL(fp_rs,"URL")%>"> then it works fine, but that's not what I
want.

It's normal textfield in de database. With just plain tekst, but this is
normal tekst
http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Emcafee%2Ecom
%3A = :
%2F = /
%2E = .

It should work if you drop the http%3A%2F%2F from the front ... if you paste
http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Emcafee%2Ecom into a browser you'll see (with IE at least)
it tries to resolve it to http://http://www.mcafee.com.
