    Default Mobile website design / Click to Call function -- help please (Xara Web Designer 5)

    Hi everyone...been a while since I've needed to come here, but getting ready to pull out all my hair! I have been trying to find a job, and in the meantime have created a new website with Xara (hoping $$ starts coming to afford to upgrade to the latest & greatest!). In the meantime, created new site at: http://www.resumeidentity.com and wanted to learn how to do the mobile version. Very easy to create the mobile version, until I came to the "click to call" function. Have been trying since yesterday to find code to insert into the Xara mobile contact.htm page that will work. Each time I do anything it is mucking up the "back to menu" button, no idea why. Have found several examples of code to insert, all are pretty much the same, but none seem to work. Could it be Xara is not compatible with the code...or am I missing something??

    With all the mobile buzz, I wanted to learn how to do this, and this seems to be the only hiccup I have run into, and it's a big one, cause everybody says you MUST have the "click to call" function. If anyone has any ideas on this or has done it, would GREATLY appreciate help. The mobile version that I created as a test can be seen on your desktop/laptop browser at: http://www.resumeidentity.com/mobile. I can't get the mobile site on my phone, but think that is just my cell phone, it's very basic.

    After this is solved will tackle the code to redirect mobile phone users to the mobile site, hope that part goes better!!

    A bazillion thanks to anyone who can help with this! At a standstill now.

    Try the phone number with hyphens; mobile browsers will recognize that and allow click to call.

    Thanks Big Wave. It wasn't the hyphens, it was the code and the way Xara spit it out....., I had 2 buttons on the contact.htm page and it grouped them together with an "<a href=..........> tag. Had to split them up like this (the 7.png file is the "click to call" button, and the 6.png file is the "back to menu" button; here's how I had to reconfigure the code for the contact.htm file (in notepad), and it's now been tested and works great!!

    <a href="tel:1-512-692-6178"><img class="xr_ap" src="index_htm_files/7.png" alt="click to call" style="left: 29px; top: 160px; width: 189px; height: 42px;"/>
    </a>

    <a href="index.htm" target="_self" onclick="return(xr_nn());"> <img class="xr_ap" src="index_htm_files/6.png" alt="" style="left: 40px; top: 275px; width: 160px; height: 35px; " onmousemove="xr_mo(this,0)"/>
    </a>

    Maybe this will help someone else also. Now on to trying to see if there is auto scale available and the redirect code.

    Thanks for taking time for your input.
