Is it possible to turn the text that is typed into a text box into a hyperlink?

I have it set up now to take the text from the text box, then created a hyperlink right next to the text box that uses a concat command to include the typed in text in the hyperlink.

I would rather not have the extra hyperlink next to the text box and would like the text in the text box to be the hyperlink itself

Any information would be greatly appreciated. 

You can place a boolean flag field linkGenerated in your form, and a button that when clicked, performs the concatenation you mentioned and sets linkGenerated to true.  Then use conditional formatting to hide the hyperlink when linkGenerated is false, and hide the textbox when it's true.
