It’s easy to dial a phone number in HTML, as a smartphone recognises it as a phone number and all you have to do it tap it.
I would like to add an “app like” phone button on a smartphone specific page, so if you tap it, it dials the number. IE using a graphic rather than a regular HTML number.
Is this possible and if so how would I do it.
Sure. Just wrap the image (the button) in a link, and use the External tab of the Hyperlink dialog to add your phone number as a URL:
tel:5551234567
Just put that in the URL field. Any browser that doesn’t know how to dial a phone will ignore it or give an error.
