hi, i want to use regexp to find out if a URL entered
is correct. i am trying the following code:

    myreg = new
RegExp("/^(http|https|ftp):\/\/((?:[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+\.?)+):?(\d*)/");
    if (myreg.test(url)) return true;
    else return false;

what is wrong with this? sorry if the code above
breaks and wraps on to four lines, but the first line
is on one line so that is not the issue.

thanks!
erick
