Is it possible to detect postal addresses in mobile safari so it can be added to contacts?

Is it possible to detect postal addresses in mobile safari on ios?

I have a mobile web application and thought it would be a nice feature if the ipad/iphone could detect addresses on the webpage and highlight them in the same way it is already doing for telephone numbers.

I may not have the address in the correct format for example or using the wrong tags around it.

Im using the 

<address></address>

tags.

Solution

  • Unfortunately, not. According to the Safari HTML Reference the only data detection that Mobile Safari supports is telephone numbers.
