    Default Phone Number Clickable In Mobile Variant?

    Haven't been around in a while (retiring). I am using Designer Pro X11. Is there a way to make a phone number clickable in the mobile variant to dial that number? Hadn't thought about it before, and can't seem to find an answer. Thanks in advance!

    Hi Jim. Set the link to telthen the number)

    Of course this won't work particularly well on a PC unless you have mobile connections but works fine on mobiles.

    In the web link section, add 'tel:######' in the format of your country. If you want International add the number as you would dial on a standard land line call.

    Perfect (and too easy as usual). Thanks!! EDIT: Also just noticed that Safari will allow the phone number in the mobile version to be clickable automatically without adding it as a link whereas Chrome won't.

    Thought I would come back to this 3 years later! I have a phone number that's clickable which is fine, but somehow a fax number right below it is also clickable which is not good. Is it the browser that makes it clickable even though I haven't done that? Even if I totally remove the fax number and then re-type it still turns into a link. Any suggestions how to stop this behavior? Thanks!

    A Fax Number is just a phone number so Xara is might be adding the tel: protocol automatically, but I've never seen this.

    All you need do in the design is click on the number and a small po-up appears and you then click on the Remove option.
    Or, select the number, open Web Properties > Link and pick Do nothing and OK.

    By default, Safari on iOS detects any string formatted like a phone number and makes it a link that calls the number.


    You can put this in the header of your page to stop the fax number being picked up as a link, and it won't stop the links that you DO instruct to be tel: links from working

    HTML Code:
    <meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no">
