How to remove click-to-call links for IE mobile browsers


Hi I am able to remove click-to-call links for labels / numbers in Iphone & Blackberry by keeping the above tags in the header part.

<meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no"> //for Safari
<meta http-equiv="x-rim-auto-match" content="none"> //for Blackberry

Like this do we have any property for Internet Explorer ( Windows Mobile Browser ) ?


Solution

  • It appears that this functionality is not present in the current release of the OS and IE will parse numbers, addresses and emails automatically. As per the public doc:

    Internet Explorer Mobile automatically recognizes phone numbers, email addresses, and physical addresses on webpages, regardless of whether they were designed as hyperlinks or not—so users can make a phone call, send an email, or map an address with just a tap or two.
