The highlighting is browser dependent. I'll have to run some more tests
to make it work in most (there are lots of supported browsers now: FF2,
FF3, Opera on Mac, Linux and Windows; Safari on Mac and Windows; IE6,
IE7 and soon IE8 on Windows. Yep, that makes 13-14!).
I think Matt's idea is best: onBlur look for links starting with www.
and add http:// in front, as they definitely need that.
