Hyperlinks with InDesing CS3, how does it work?

Question

Hello There,
I am creating a document with ID SC3 and would like to add links to the exported PDF that are active, so people can check material I have on the web.
So far I have tried selecting the Object and then going to the Hyperlink Options from the panels to add a link. Under destination, I went:
Type: URL
Name: Seattle Post blablabla
URL: http://www.visionsofthewild.com/pdf/F.SchulzSeattlePI.pdf
but the link is not active when I open the exported PDF. There is no hand showing that there is a link.
I also made the test to see if I place just the text like
http://www.visionsofthewild.com/pdf/F.SchulzSeattlePI.pdf
the link is active, but not the whole thing, just one part because the text frame was too small and the rest of the link jumped to the next line.
I am not trying to create an HTML or website, I just want to have links that are active, without having to write the entire http://www.blablabla.com
What am I missing?
Here is a link to one of the pages of the file I exported:
http://www.visionsofthewild.com/interviews/Schulz_Report.pdf
One can see that the www.visionsofhewild.com text is active, but the large file on the left is not showing sings of active links even though I have already applied one. What am I doing wrong?
Advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Emil

Hello Richard
I have created the hyperlink destination and then created the new hyperlink. But it is still not showing me any activ links on the final PDF :-S
On the Hyperlink window, I have under Destination:
Document: -> Here is the name of the document where I am editing the hyperlinks and so on.
Type: URL
Name: -> Here appears the name of the Hyperlink destination I already created, and it is already selected
URL: -> It is also the same as I have created on the new destination.
Apperance: ->Here I have not changed anything, do I need to?
What would be another reason why the hyperlink doesn't want to show. I have already clicked on "Go to destination" and it is the right link, so I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
Any other ideas?
Thank your your quick reply too :-)
