Auto Create Links getting cut off

[heatherj41224144]

I have created a purchase order for staff to use when ordering materials and supplies. Currently they are using the fillable form and pasting the web address to the item they want into a field. I want to make this clickable so when it gets to me all I have to do it click on the field and it will take me right to the item they want to order. I have tried to use the auto-create Link function but when I do some web addresses get cut off and it cannot load the page. Is there a fix to this? It works great when the web address is shorter.

if the URL is in a text field (in this case named "LinkURL"), then this script on the MouseUp action of a button field will open a browser window to the URL. 

app.launchURL(this.getField("LinkURL").valueAsText);

Change "LinkURL" to the actual name of the field on your form.

Did you mean valueAsString?

Of course, typing too fast. 

app.launchURL(this.getField("LinkURL").valueAsString);

Make sure the text field font size is Auto, and Scroll long text is selected in the options tab of the text field so the URL paste accepts the entire paste.  Then enter the following "On Focus" script in the actions tab:

if(event.value)
{app.launchURL(event.target.value)}

When you click on the field it will open the webpage.
