tel:XXXXXXXX does not work anymore

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
V0.13. iPhone version 2.1 (5F136)

Please provide any additional information below.

Site is 3 levels deep. After first page xml is read in background and layout 
rendered through php. 
User makes next selection and another xml is read in background and layout is 
rendered through 
php. On that page a tel:XXXXXX link is called by :

<li onclick="window.location.href = 'tel:$phone'" >$phone</li>

If I call the page directly the tel: link works. 

Same applies to mailto: link.

Normal links (A href) do work.

THanks for this software, it's really easy to create something quickly now.

Your php code should probably be:

<li><a href="tel:$phone">$phone</a></li>

because the hinting (i.e., an underlined link) is the user's only visual clue 
that
the phone number is clickable.

Fix is to add this code to the addEventListener() function.  I added it after 
the the if(link.href && link.hash && 
link.hash != #) block:

else if (link.href.substring(0,4) == "tel:"){
            // do nothing.
            return;
        }

If you want mailto: links to work like normal instead of iui trying to post 
them via ajax then change it to:

else if (link.href.substring(0,4) == "tel:" || link.href.substring(0,7) == 
"mailto:"){
            // do nothing.
            return;
        }
