The only way I know right now is to do it via Skype, but not force it via HTML. _____________________________ Arizona Web Design - Mr Bobs Web Design in Arizona The Arizona Web Hosting Challenge

BobbyDouglas Posts: 5432 Joined: 5/15/2003 From: Arizona Status: offline	RE: Disable Skype links via HTML? - 4/28/2008 14:10:52 I just have the phone numbers broken down into a table right now. I could encode them, but it would be a pain to update it. Can you confirm that Skype ignores the numbers if they are encoded like that?

Are they not in a DB? If you need to update them that often, maybe they should. Or you can copy/paste from a tool like this: http://www.simplelogic.com/Developer/HTMLEncode.asp Hope it helps. _____________________________ Don't take you're eye off your final destination.

Does skype turn this into a link for you?

Remember tho when you're posting on this forum, you have to encode the & sign as well with & Make sense? So to make that code work on this forum, I think you need to post an "8" like this: &#056; and not: 8 That make sense at all? _____________________________ Don't take you're eye off your final destination.

Thanks for the suggestion. _____________________________ Arizona Web Design - Mr Bobs Web Design in Arizona The Arizona Web Hosting Challenge (in reply to rdouglass)
