HTML link does not open
Question
I have a test HTML page with a link:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<a href="localhost:8080">Log in with TouchLogin</a>
</body>
</html>
When clicked, the link does nothing. If I add the target = "_blank" attribute, the link opens a new tab, but does not load the URL specified. If I Ctrl-Click it, the link opens fine. What is going on?
Thanks in advance.

Glad you figured it out!
Omitting the http:// will always attempt to open the resource local to where the code originates.
For example, if you're working offline...
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<a href="localhost:8080">Log in with TouchLogin</a>
</body>
</html>
Will open something like c://user/parent/localhost:8080
And working online will open something like http://parentsite.com/localhost8080
SO, leave out the http:// when linking to pages on your site but include when linking externally. :)

Figured it out upon using a different URL in the href (google.com). It did not work without "http://", so I added "http://" to the localhost link and it worked.
