embedded links don't work
When I go to certain web pages with an embedded link.. Like:
and I click on the embedded link, in this case it is the "Download this article in .PDF format" button, I get the web address below:
As you can see, there two "http://....."
And the link fails.. if I manually remove the first http://... up to the second (correct) http://... the link works fine.
How can I fix this?
Thanks, Bill

There is a typo in the URL and a leading '/' is present that causes this issue.
<a href="/http://machinedesign.com/datasheet/designing-hub-brushless-motors-pdf-download">Download this article in .PDF format</a>
A possible way to fix this is to right-click the link and open the built-in Inspector (Inspect Element) and double-click that link to edit that attribute and remove that leading '/'.
