<br>
right, the phone system suppliers provide a browser plugin for
Chrome, Firefox and IE.<br>
They do seem to operate exactly as the Skype extension <br>
View source just shows my original source code as in php file.<br>
<br>
Now this is where investigation gets interesting - it does work in
all browsers in this portion of a file:<br>
<br>
echo " <td width=\"35%\">Tn</td>";<br>
echo " <td width=\"65%\"><input type=\"text\"
name=\"town\" size=\"20\"
value=\"".$row["town"]."\"></td>";<br>
echo " <td width=\"35%\">Cty</td>";<br>
echo " <td width=\"65%\"><input type=\"text\"
name=\"county\" size=\"20\"
value=\"".$row["county"]."\"></td>";<br>
echo " <td width=\"35%\">P</td>";<br>
echo " <td width=\"65%\"><input type=\"text\"
name=\"postcode\" size=\"20\"
value=\"".$row["postcode"]."\"></td>";<br>
echo " </br>";<br>
echo " <tr>";<br>
echo " <td width=\"35%\">Home Phone</td>";<br>
echo " <td width=\"65%\"><input type=\"text\"
name=\"workphone\" size=\"25\"
value=\"".$row["workphone"]."\"></td>";<br>
echo "Click to ring (need browser plugin) : ";<br>
echo $row["workphone"];<br>
<br>
but this works only in Firefox from this one from a different
page:<br>
<br>
if ($row["alertareaman"] == 1)<br>
{$checkk = checked;}<br>
else {$checkk = unchecked;}<br>
echo " <td width=\"35%\">Alert Area Manager to problem?
(shows property on area manager page</td>";<br>
echo " <td width=\"65%\"><input type=\"checkbox\"
name=\"alertareaman\" $checkk></td>";<br>
echo " </tr>";<br>
echo "<hr>";<br>
echo "<br><b>Tenancy Details<br></b>";<br>
echo " <td width=\"35%\">Tenant</td>";<br>
echo " <td width=\"65%\"><input type=\"text\"
name=\"tenant\" size=\"20\"
value=\"".$row["tenant"]."\"></td>";<br>
echo " <td width=\"35%\">Tenant Phone</td>";<br>
echo " <td width=\"65%\"><input type=\"text\"
name=\"tenantno\" size=\"20\"
value=\"".$row["tenantno"]."\"></td>";<br>
echo "Click to ring (need browser plugin) : ";<br>
echo $row["tenantno"];<br>
<br>
<br>
Wierd<br>
<br>
<br>
As a sideline, the extension also renders some timestamps as
clickable, but prob just a coincidence.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

got a browser plugin that allows you to use a voip phone
system to dial a number from a link on a webpage,<br>
[...]<br>
<br>
works fine on Firefox, does not give the link on Chrome or IE.<br>
Is there something else i need to do to get the code right to
be accepted , guess its a 'standards' thing?<br>

<div>I'm a bit confused here, as you say you have a browser plugin
(which would by definition make it browser specific)?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It sounds like you have a Firefox plugin that locates phone
numbers on a web page and turns them into clickable links that
make a VoIP connection (you don't say what plugin you have,
although I have seen Skype plugins that do this). If so then the
likelihood is that you're going to need to find a similar plugin
for the other browsers that you want to support (which may or
may not exist).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Creating tel: links (as per David's comment) may work if the
user has something configured to handle them and may be a more
generic solution (provided you can find a suitable handler for
tel: links).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think more detail is needed in general here.</div>
