I was testing this in prompt mode: import re def checkurl(url): check = re.match(r'^(:?https?://)?[^\/#?&]+\.[^\/#?&]+.*$',url) if check == None: print “NNOOOOOO!!!!” else: print “YESSSS!!!!!” checkurl("javascript:void(0);") checkurl("/account/general?ru=https%3a%2f%2fwww.bing.com%3a443%2fsearch%3fq%3dukraine%2bcrisis&FORM=SEFD") checkurl("/?FORM=Z9FD1") checkurl("http://choice.microsoft.com") I have no idea why this won't work.

Couple things: 1. I can't figure out what you want to do exactly 2. arrays declared on the stack (i.e. like so: `int arr[50]`) HAS to have its length be a constant. So either a literal or a const variable. Instead use `malloc(sizeof(int))*(m*n)` or something similar. return it from a …

1. I don't believe you are allowed to embed other elements except <a> and <br /> in <p> tags. You can but it probably wouldn't look right. 2. to get 2 divs to appear on the "same line" usually you just float the elements. Try the following: `<p style="float:left;line-height:10px;">This string</p><div …
