the only way would be to use an htaccess redirect but the http:// would need to be in htaccess

Yes, but it involves intercepting the click event with JavaScript.

Essentially, you need http://, but it's possible without altering the markup that you provided above. All of your links could look like what you described.

Only a few lines of code assuming you're a JavaScript ninja armed with jQuery.

i wouldn't suggest using js for the task, but it's possible...

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
    <title>Intercept Click</title>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://assets.fit.edu/src/js/jquery/jquery.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $('a').click(function() {
            document.location = 'http://' + $(this).attr('href');
            return false; 
        });
    });
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <a href="www.google.com">Google</a>
</body>
</html>
