Display data as URL String

[cs_in_va]

I have a database that lists the company and website. The entry in
the website is like "http://www.mysite.com, but when the information
is displayed in a gridview it is not "clickable" meaning that if they
try and click on it to go to the web site it does not work.

I need to make the entries in the website column like a typical URL
link and when someone clicks it, a new window will open and go to the
web site.

Thanks
