Getting an absolute URL from a relative one. (IE6 issue)

by

How strange! IE does, however, understand it when you use innerHTML instead of DOM methods.

function escapeHTML(s) {
    return s.split('&').join('&amp;').split('<').join('&lt;').split('"').join('&quot;');
}
function qualifyURL(url) {
    var el= document.createElement('div');
    el.innerHTML= '<a href="'+escapeHTML(url)+'">x</a>';
    return el.firstChild.href;
}

A bit ugly, but more concise than Doing It Yourself.
