Examples on websites are turning into "Click to Ca...

Hello,
I write for a website to do with telephony, and everytime I use an example phone number, Skype Click-to-Call turns this into a mess. What I need to know is how to turn off this for users browsing my site. Is there a tag or mark up that I can use to force skype to ignore the number? It is ruining my site's documentation.  The only solution that I could think of is to use an image, which would be far from optimal.
Thanks.

Hiya,
That's not really an option for me - I don't actually hand code much, it's coming from a publishing tool, and I have *A LOT* of content - like a WEEK'S worth of work if I do that - plus everytime I hit publish I'd need to redo it all (it's a WYSIWYG engine).
I was hoping that Skype actually offered some kind of tag that it'd pay attention to that I could add to the pages as metadata, to say "Don't touch the numbers here". It's really intrusive for a start - as both a user of skype and also someone who has to work with websites. And as I say, it mucks up my examples and also is pointing to completely fanciful phone numbers, so of absolute no use.
Hi,
I dug around google for a little while unfortunately to no avail. The site with a range of other solutions on it is all HTML or CSS based. The only one that isn't really html is putting multiple delimiters in, however that depends if you want to go and double hyphen/space everything and make it look wierd.
You're right, it is annoying! I did find this site from 2009 if you can edit the code in the header, slightly more simple, however whether that still works in 2015 is anyone's guess, knowing Microsoft they've probably patched CtC so it still works.

  • Since ios 8, imessages are turning into texts. And the receiving person has an apple device. why?

    Since ios 8, imessages on my iphone are turning into texts. and the recipients are using apple devices. Their reply messages come back in a new message, without the history. and often their address is an icloud one and not their phone number (which is where I sent it). Why?

    As in the link when you send an iMessage your text bubble is blue. If it's sent SMS your text message is green. Both parties will receive the message or reply in a grey bubble. When you contact them ask them what colour their sent text messages bubble are.
    As for group messages check your settings. MMS must be turned on; Settings > Messages. Send as SMS must also be turned on.

  • Rollover buttons are turning into Xs!!!

    I created a template in dreamweaver 8, I designed the site in
    photoshop and then sliced it in image ready, I did rollover
    navigation buttons in image ready, simply giving them glow when you
    move over them. I then defined the site in dreamweaver and it
    worked fine until in previews in ie until I saved it, it said
    "update links? If I click yes, then when I test it in ie it turns
    the buttons into red x's every time I move the mouse over them and
    they are supposed to rollover. If I click no, all the pictures come
    up as those little broken pages. I was saving it as an html. I'm
    sure there is a sloution to this, or at least hope so, any help
    would be great appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Are you testing locally or after uploading it to the server?
    If the latter,
    post a URI, please. I suspect you have not uploaded the
    rollover images.

  • Shadows created in iWeb are turned into bulky boxes – a recent flaw not experienced before. (Clearing cache didn't help)

    When I first tried Firefox instead of Safari, shadows around non-rectangular objects no longer followed the contour, but shadows around rectangular objects looked fine (same as in Safari.)
    Now, for no apparent reason, shadows have become big grey rectangles, making the site look amateur and childish, though it still looks fine in Safari.

    That is unfortunately a bug (Bug 662898) that slipped into Firefox 5 and that will be fixed in Firefox 6, due to be released in August.

  • I'm having trouble with popups on my mac book pro constantly along with words on every page that have turned into links. how do i fix this???

    i have pop ups constantly from mackeeper and many other websites. i also have noticed that some words on all websites have turned into links... how do i fix the problem??

    You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select

  • Had acrobat 8 instaled today i downloade a U torrent and suddenly acrobat turned into u torrent on all my adobe files .. went to open with clicked on acrobat and then it changed to Filemaker which ihave installed.. how can i get back to acrobat???? help

    I originally had acrobat 7 in my machine when Adobe told me that they won't support it and gave me 8 by a direct download to my pc about 4 months ago.  Great worked fin today i uploaded U Torrent and suddenly all my acrobat files turned into U torrents so i clicked on open with and clicked on acrobat and now the files show filemaker Pro which i do have installed..  I need to get back to acrobat for my bills that i send out .. i am disabled and run a small business from home.. all my invoices are now corrupt can you help  please..

    It sounds like you do not have a backup. You might consider a restore to before you installed the problem program. Can you open Acrobat by going to the Acrobat folder and clicking on Acrobat? If so, go to Help>Repair. After that, try the updates if you are not current. Hopefully that will resolve the problem. There is a chance that the program you downloaded as not a proper version and had a virus.

  • Whenever I enter a number in Notes such as a serial number, it turns into a hyperlink. If I click on it to copy it, it calls as if a phone

    Whenever I enter a number in Notes such as a serial number, it turns into a hyperlink. If I click on it to copy it, it calls as if a phone

    There is no way to prevent this behavior short of changing how you format the numbers in your document.  The iPhone detects sequences of numbers to make them easy to dial as a phone number.  If you need it select these numbers to do something else with then (such as copy to the clipboard), just hold your finger on the number until the contextual menu appears.
    Are you using an older version of iOS?  Some older versions, under certain conditions, would automatically dial a number that you tapped rather than asking you if you want to dial it.

  • Get rid of text-select-turning-into-cursor-on-second-click

    I'm currently trying to select only some of many separate text pieces, and I can't do it because the select arrow is constantly turning into a cursor. (I finally had to lock all the other layers and do several click-and-drags around the page to get the right pieces.) Don't know why they ever did this--when I work in Illustrator, I need the text cursor much less often than I need to move text objects around the page.
    Someone said on this forum that it used to be you would hit "tab" to get the cursor--I see no problem with going back to that.
    If anyone knows how I can get better control over the select arrow, then please let me know.
    Christine

    >The feature is a time waster. Hitting t on the keyboard is much more accurate and doesn't involve command-z or escape then switching BACK to the desired tool when a double click has accidentally occurred. I realize this is my opinion and may not be shared by Nini's "most users," whomever they are.
    But double-clicking
    is more accurate and reliable. I can double-click on a text item to edit it, but when I use the Type tool I often end up clicking on nearby paths, converting them to text objects. A one-step action becomes a multi-step action. Point Nini.
    However I agree, too, that there often seems to be a hair trigger on the double-click. An option in the preferences to enable the feature would probably satisfy most users. Where by "most" I mean "all".

    what are all the reasons why imessages turn into text messages...such as the recipient is talking on the phone, etc.?

    Hi,
    What's the worst that I've spent 100 Eur alltogether for GPS map based applications for several sports - golf, bike, ski, etc. These applications use data from iPhone Map application and its disaster after my update onto iOS 6. These are pictures of 2 of my favorit golf resorts:
    And here one example from a place where I use to bike:
    Very nice, isn't it?
    And unfortunately this problem won't disappear even when Google put stand alone map application into iStore.
    So I have only way to downgrade to 5.1.1 immediately to not throw away money I already spent.

  • Why are my dock applications turning into question marks after restarting my macbook pro?

    So i have had my new MBP with retina display for a few weeks now, and everytime I shutdown or restart the computer, I have a bunch of question marks in my dock instead of my application icons. The question marks still show the name of the application under them, and after I click them they turn back into the proper icon. I noticed that they are only applications I have installed myself off the internet. It never happens to the applcations that came with my macbook, or apps from the mac app store. I have not moved the location of the applications i installed, so i dont know why the computer is having trouble displaying the icons. I am new to the mac operating system and am wondering if I may not have installed these applications properly. The apps that are constatly turning into question marks include Bittorent, VLC Player, PS3 Media Server, Air VIdeo Server, and the Dolphin gamecube emulator. I have looked all over the internet but i cannot find a solution. Please Help!

    When they go grey, it means that they have lost the location of the application that they represent.
    If you put your mouse over each one, it will tell you what application it is that it has lost.
    Go to wherever you have that application stored, usually the applications folder, and drag the icon of the application down into the dock. A new icon is created for you.
    Repeat with the other two grey icons in the dock.
    To remove the grey icons, left click and hold while you drag the icon out of the dock and onto the desktop. Release the mouse button and the icon will disappear in a puff of smoke.

  • I open a site, it loads and i'm already reading or looking at it and suddenly it turns into a blank page without me doing nothing or moving or clicking anywhere. Have happened to me on 3 different addresses

    Hi.
    I'm having a problem with Firefox. Lately it have happened to me that I'm looking at a site and suddenly the site turns into a white blank page and that happens without me doing anything or clicking anywhere. The site loads normally and I can navigate through the page but then all the content disappears and shows just a white page. At first I thought it was a problem with the address because that problem happened to me just in this one(http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=231&cat=144&category=142) while I was looking at the classifieds but today I was browsing other pages(e.g. www.collegeboard.org) and the same thing happened. And it doesn't happen on every site, so far is has been just in a couple of addresses. Then, in order to fix this, I have to click the "go back one page" button to get to the same page I was on. It looks like when it turns white is because it goes to a different page because if I reload that white page nothing happens until I click "go back". I hope you can help me.

    Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    # You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    # Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • How can I turn off Recently Websites when opening new Safari window? After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed.

    How can I turn off Recently Visited Websites when opening new Safari window?
    After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed. How can I turn this function off? I do NOT want my new Safari windows to have history displayed of previous websites I visited. I only want my Favorites (on the top) to be displayed. Please help.
    Thank you for your time, patience, understanding, kindness, and concern.

    Thanks for replying, but that isn't the answer I am looking for.  Also, there is no + sign, UNLESS you do tap the overlapping boxes.
    Let me try to ask my question a little more clearly:
    When I tap the two overlapping boxes on the lower left (the option to Open New Windows), the new Window that appears will show your Bookmarked FAVORITES. But with my new iPhone 6, and the new iOS 8.0.2, when I tap the two boxes to open a New Window, my Bookmark Favorites show (as they always have and should), but below them, there is a dividing line underneath them, and it says Recently Viewed Websites, and has these websites available to tap.
    So my question is, HOW DO I TURN THESE OPTION OFF?
    *UPDATE  (10.13.14): Since I have asked this question, I no longer see these Recently Viewed Websites under my Bookmarked Favorites in my new Window tabs. So I hope that Apple fixed it, or somehow it was a mistake, or somehow I changed an Option on my iPhone 6 that stopped this for reoccurring.
    Thank you for your help bobseufert! I appreciate your concern, kindness, and the time to try to help. I am grateful.
    Have a blessed day.

  • My latest pano photo have missing landscape. Some of the photos are merged into one. I can provide the examples. What could cause this problem on a new 5C?

    My latest pano photo have missing landscape. Some of the photos are merged into one. I can provide the examples. What could cause this problem on a new 5C?

    Thanks for the input. I was finally able to find some test conditions that duplicated the problem, and it is either that or some other out-of-spec diffraction distortion.  So I sent it off for repair.

  • Do we have any method to list out the servers that are critical and the component/monitor causing the server to turn into critical state in SCOM 2012

    Hello Team,
    We are monitoring 1000 servers in our environment and out of 1000 servers, we have approximately 100 servers showing as critical state on the server state view.
    We can get the critical servers list from SCOM console, but we are not able to get the information about the component responsible for the server to be critical. Using Health explorer to find the root cause for 100 servers is really impossible and time consuming.
    Do we have any method to list out the servers that are critical and the component/monitor causing the server to turn into critical state?
    Advance thanks for your help.

  • I have read the thread about turning off dialpad sounds when calling a number. I used to always be able to do this on my 4S but not so since the latest software on the 5. Keyboard clicks are turned off and still have dialpad sound. I've NEVER had to mute.

    I have read the thread about turning off dialpad sounds when calling a number. I used to always be able to do this on my 4S but not so since the latest software on the 5. Keyboard clicks are turned off and still have dialpad sound. I've NEVER had to mute to dial before.

    I really do not think it is the iPad or your network connection. Other users have reported this very same issue. Try this and see if it works for you - it may not work - but it's easy to try - harmless - and it has worked in the past for others.
    Try signing out of your account and restart your iPad.
    Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID and tap the ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Go back to Settings>Store> Apple ID and sign in again.
