External Links Open Within My Website

Question

So I have come across a problem which is quite confusing.

When I use this line of code:

<li><a href="www.google.com" style="margin-right: 40px;">Donate</a></li>

The site 'www.google.com' opens in my window or tab with this URL: https://gyazo.com/6f200273b542d4f91e202a85bc3bc725

It does the exact same thing if I add

target="_blank"

to the code too

Any suggestions?

You might have some browser plugins installed, Try it on a incognito widow? — Anenth, Dec 18 '16 at 02:41

as mention in comments above you need https://

<li>
  <a href="www.google.com" style="margin-right: 40px;">without https</a>
</li>

<li>
  <a href="https://www.google.com" style="margin-right: 40px;">with https</a>
</li>

<li>
  <a href="https://www.google.com" target="_Blank" style="margin-right: 40px;">https with target blank</a>
</li>
