Click-to-dial not detecting phone numbers

  1. 12 years ago

    We are using testing the FOP2 Chrome Extension. We are finding that on most webpages when a phone number is simply displayed it is clickable, but when it is in a text box, or on any Google Mail or Google Contact page, phone numbers are not detected as clickable. On Goggle pages it doesn't matter if outbound voice calling using Google Voice is enabled or disabled. Numbers on a Google Site web page are clickable.

    We are using Google Apps for Business so this could be a big deal. Probably the major use would be for dialing numbers in an email or a contact record.

    Can anyone confirm these symptoms? Better yet, found a work around?

  2. Followup - clicking numbers in Yahoo Mail and Contacts doesn't work for me either.

    static pages are converted. Dynamic web applications are not converted. If the numbers appear due to some javascript/ajax magic, then they won't be converted. There is no way around that.

    Use gmail in standard html mode and it will probably work.
