Clickable telephone number on mobile site

[ianzzz5]

Hi,

Does anybody know a way of dialing a telephone number from a text link on my mobile website please.

Thanks.

I think this should be on the smartphone side.
The smartphones are auto-detecting, if it is a mobile number or not and should suggest you to dial, once you click it.

Most modern devices support the tel: scheme.
So you can use <a href="tel:555-555-5555">555-555-5555</a> and you should be good to go.

If you want to use it for an image, the <a> tag can handle the <img/> placed in it just like other normal situations with : <a href="tel:555-555-5555"><img src="path/to/phone/icon.jpg" /></a>

I'm not sure, if Xara support this as a feature

This is very simple, just right click on the number (or graphic / icon) and select Web Properties. just type in tel:123 456 7898 in "link to web or email address' works every time on my websites.

It should work. I would not have any spaces on the phone number though. tel:1234567890

Yes it is working now.
I didn't put tel: in front of the number.

Thanks for all your help.
