HI All. I posted this a few days ago and I didn't get a response. I'd really appreciate any help or advice.
When someone leaves a comment they are prompted for name, email and website which is optional. If someone doesn't enter a website and leaves the URL field blank then there is a problem. The name is hyperlinked to a url consisting of just this: http://website - which is a broken link.
Can anyone help me configure the URL to point to nothing if the URL field is left blank?
Here's a URL with comments for example: http://www.tune-in-tokyo.com/2008/09/japanese-idol-miri-hanai/
Thank you,
Billy
Are you using the Delink Comment Author plugin or something similar? I ask because I see that comment nr. 3 has no link on the author name.

I'm not using any comment plugins. Maybe I should.
Comment #3 was made by me when I was logged in as admin so I guess theres not a link for that situation.
I'm going to look at the plugin you mentioned.

Can someone please take a peak at this code where I suspect the problem lies:
<input type="text" name="url" id="url" value="Website" size="22" tabindex="3" onblur="if(this.value.length == 0) this.value='Website';" onclick="if(this.value == 'Website') this.value='';" />
That code seems to be working correctly.
You should instead see your comment-template.php where it outputs the author URL, where you should have something like this:
if ( 'Website' == get_comment_author_url() ) {
// display author without link
} else {
// display author normally
}
Either that, or you could move the text from inside the input to the side:
<input type="text" name="url" id="url" value="" size="22" tabindex="3" /> Website
