Well, when clicking that link nothing happens. I tried to create a sample link <a href="#"> which worked really fine.

Did you try both callto: with the number and skype: with the username?

Šime Vidas 2010-10-04 13:51:32

Yes. I also tried the get-a-skype-button method. In every case the link wasn't linked. Even if I had not installed Skype there must've been a link...

Also, try in different browsers. I don't use skype so I cannot test this myself. In Firefox, go Tools > Options..., then in the Application tab, find "skype" or "callto" and check if those are associated with the Skype application.

Well, Skype isn't running in my browser. I wasn't able to find skype or callto in my application tab. But does it make any difference when the link is no link? Forgot to try the other browsers ic. I'll be right back. Tried it with three different browsers. Same result

When you say "the link is not a link" do you mean that when you add that code to your page, it doesn't actually display a clickable link? Or that it does create a clickable link, but clicking on it doesn't do what you expect it to?
