macOS Automatically adding 'http://' into NSTextField

[tominated]

What and where would i put into

- (IBAction)connectURL:(id)sender{
[urlString setStringValue:[sender stringValue]];
[[webView mainFrame] loadRequest:
[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:
[NSURL URLWithString:
[sender stringValue]]]];
}

to make it automatically insert the 'http://' infort of the url if it isn't already there.

BTW: this is what happens to my url text field when enter is pressed.

Assuming sender is the NSTextField:

- (IBAction)connectURL:(id)sender
{
    NSString *url = [sender stringValue];
    if (![url hasPrefix:@"http://"])
        url = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://%@", url];
    [urlString setStringValue:url];
    [[webView mainFrame] loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:url]]];
}

Well, no. There are several Cocoa Web Browser tutorials on the web

I see you're ignoring my advice about indenting your code and not breaking your lines into non-sensical separate lines that make your code harder to read.

Notice the difference between the way your code is written and Kainjow's. His is easy to read....
