Question

Convert a website URL from text to an active link

I have a popup menu created in JS that includes an 'About' dialog that displays a website in text format. Is there a way to use the JS method this.getURL() to convert the website text based URL to an active link on a PDF form? Please don't tell me to use the add/edit web link provided under the 'Edit' tool in Acrobat. Your response to this subject matter is appreciated. Thank you ahead of time.

Sorry, I should have asked 'How can I implement the launchURL() method in my 'About' dialog box to convert my existing text based URL to an active link?' as I believe this.getURL() method isn't going to work.

What kind of animal is your About dialog?  

Where is this "text based URL"?  Is is page content on the PDF?

Please be explicit.
