javascript url regex

Question

Hello,

Currently i have a input box which will detect the url and parse the data.

So right now, i am using

        var urlR = /^(?:([A-Za-z]+):)?(\/{0,3})([0-9.\-A-Za-z]+)
(?::(\d+))?(?:\/([^?#]*))?(?:\?([^#]*))?(?:#(.*))?$/;
        var url= content.match(urlR);

problem is, when i enter url like www.google.com, its not working, when i entered http://www.google.com, is working..

i am not very fluent in regex. can anyone help me?

thanks.

Use this

Here is a sample

var expression = /[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_\+.~#?&//=]{2,256}\.[a-z]{2,4}\b(\/[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_\+.~#?&//=]*)?/gi;
 var regex = new RegExp(expression);
var t = 'www.google.com';
  if (t.match(regex) )
 {
   alert("Successful match");
 } else {
   alert("No match");
 }
