IE7 issue with replacing links created in Javascript

[okiiyama]

Due to some restrictions with our web host, I had to create a javascript file to overwrite our existing left navigation. This includes overwriting some of the links and re-creating them in javascript. In IE7, it appears that the domain is being replaced with something like "about:". So the link

http://www.thisdomain.com/something.html

changes to "about:/something.html" or something close to that. I haven't updated to IE7 yet and am wondering if anyone else has seen or heard about this issue, and what I can do to fix this for IE7 users.

My limited knowledge has me believing that since my links aren't "transparent" from the start of the page loading, IE7 beleives the links I've created are malicious and is protecting the user from any malicious content, but its just that I have no other options right now to re-create the left navigation.

If your anchor href attibutes do not explicitly begin with a protocol identifier (e.g. "

http://"),

then you will see weird links.

Check this first.

Hope this helps,

I'm testing that right now, thanks for the advice. And for some reason I thought this was something a bit more complicated.
