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