    Default Street address numbers turned into telephone number link?

    On one of my mobile sites the address has turned itself into a link to a phone number (it shouldn't be any link at all) in the Brave browser. In Chrome there's no link. There's nothing in the code to tell the address to be something else (it's also told the fax number to be a link to an external application). Any idea why this is happening in Brave only? Chrome works fine. Thanks.

    Jim, some browsers automatically add tel: to what they think are tele numbers.
    Your site seems not to have your example any more. Brave was either told it was a telephone number by you or it interpreted what it found as one. It is clear that first part is valid but I could not find the part after the percentage sign anywhere on your site. Whatever you typed in doesn't look like an address either.

    Acorn,
    I could still find multiple instances of the wrong info and still couldn't find why. So instead of digging around anymore I changed the address group to a link pointing to Google maps. That worked fine and will solve the problem.
    Thanks for your help.
