Drupal Relative Path I am using Drupal 7. The website I am on was configured previously. My goal is to add an external link to a page. However, i am having trouble. Every link I add to any page is read as a relative link. For example, if I have the following code:

&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/"&gt;Google&lt;/a&gt;

The URL in the browser becomes: dev.mysite.com/#http://www.google.com
But, I want the URL to be http://www.google.com

First, Can i fix this using PHP?
Second, Is this something the Pathauto Module is responsible for, or maybe the Rewrite module? Both are enabled on the site
Lastly, is it a mod rewrite issue? If so, how would i fix it?
You must have some kind of text filter that is acting on your text
see what filters are applied here:
admin/config/content/formats

Or you are using a WYSIWYG editor to add the link.  If that is ckeditor, you have to set relative links to "Other" rather than http in the link editor.
