How do I do a href to port?

Question

I have tried:

 <li><a href=":8123">Earth</a></li>

This resulst in directing me to localhost/:8123 I want to be directed to localhost:8123

This works, but not for the local enviorment:

<li><a href="wwww.nordicreservation.com:8123">Earth</a></li>

Don't want to just use the second one because I find it rather hard to search for errors if I can not use the local computer to test the site.

That does not seem right, because whenver I access the site remotely this works:
just add `$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']` or `$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']` to the url before the port. check they dont have the port already — , Apr 03 '16 at 00:59

you can add the local domain\host use one of the php server variables either: $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] or $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']

IE:

<li><a href="http://<?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; ?>:8123">Earth</a></li>

It is possible to do with javascript:

<li><a id="Earth">Earth</a>
<script>
document.getElementById('Earth').href=''+window.location.origin+':8124';
</script>
