Question

Hi,

These number are displayed or formatted as mobile numbers and on click of the same a telephone call is initiated. Please let me know how to stop that and display that number as a string on the blackberry browser. Thanks in advance. :)

From the BlackBerry Knowledge Base:

The BlackBerry® Browser underlines phone numbers and allows a BlackBerry smartphone user to automatically place a call from within the BlackBerry Browser; however, it can sometimes mistake other numbers for being a phone number and underline or hyperlink this number.

To disable all phone numbers from being hyperlinked in an HTML or Wireless Markup Language (WML) page, add the following tag to the source code:

<meta name="x-rim-auto-match" http-equiv="x-rim-auto-match" forua="true" content="none"/>
