How am I able to convert the user input into a clickable link within the modal? (user entries will be in a URL format e.g. www.bbc.co.uk). The code I have used is purely from w3c schools and am experimenting how modules could be optimized. I have added the code below.
<br><b>URL</b> <input type="text" size="40" value="" name="url" id="url" class="form-control" title="Enter the URL of a web page" onchange="displayURL()">
<br><br><br><br><br>
<style>
/* The Modal (background) */
.modal {
display: none; /* Hidden by default */
position: fixed; /* Stay in place */
z-index: 1; /* Sit on top */
padding-top: 100px; /* Location of the box */
left: 0;
top: 0;
width: 100%; /* Full width */
height: 100%; /* Full height */
overflow: auto; /* Enable scroll if needed */
background-color: rgb(0,0,0); /* Fallback color */
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.4); /* Black w/ opacity */
font-family: foco;
}
/* Modal Content */
.modal-content {
position: relative;
background-color: white;
margin: auto;
font-size: 15px;
padding: 0;
border: 1px solid #888;
width: 40%;
box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.2),0 6px 20px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.19);
-webkit-animation-name: animatetop;
-webkit-animation-duration: 0.3s;
animation-name: animatetop;
animation-duration: 0.3s
}
/* Add Animation */
@-webkit-keyframes animatetop {
from {top:-300px; opacity:0}
to {top:0; opacity:1}
}
@keyframes animatetop {
from {top:-300px; opacity:0}
to {top:0; opacity:1}
}
/* The Close Button */
.close {
color: white;
float: right;
font-size: 28px;
font-weight: bold;
}
.close:hover,
.close:focus {
color: #000;
text-decoration: none;
cursor: pointer;
}
.modal-header {
padding: 2px 16px;
background-color: #4286f4;
color: white;
}
.modal-body {padding: 2px 16px;}
}
</style>

// Get the modal
var modal = document.getElementById('myModal');
// Get the button that opens the modal
var btn = document.getElementById("myBtn");
// Get the <span> element that closes the modal
var span = document.getElementsByClassName("close")[0];
// When the user clicks the button, open the modal
btn.onclick = function() {
modal.style.display = "block";
}
// When the user clicks on <span> (x), close the modal
span.onclick = function() {
modal.style.display = "none";
}
// When the user clicks anywhere outside of the modal, close it
window.onclick = function(event) {
if (event.target == modal) {

}

</script>Thanks
It is actually very simple, you have to put the data read from the input box into an anchor tag:
<br><b>URL</b> <input type="text" size="40" value="" name="url" id="url" class="form-control" title="Enter the URL of a web page" onchange="displayURL()">
<br><br><br><br><br>
<style>
/* The Modal (background) */

display: none; /* Hidden by default */
position: fixed; /* Stay in place */
z-index: 1; /* Sit on top */
padding-top: 100px; /* Location of the box */
left: 0;
top: 0;
width: 100%; /* Full width */
height: 100%; /* Full height */
overflow: auto; /* Enable scroll if needed */
background-color: rgb(0,0,0); /* Fallback color */
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.4); /* Black w/ opacity */
font-family: foco;
}
/* Modal Content */
.modal-content {
position: relative;
background-color: white;
margin: auto;
font-size: 15px;

border: 1px solid #888;

/* Add Animation */
@-webkit-keyframes animatetop {
