Steve, that only works on the client end if the visitor chooses to disable it themselves manually. The solution I included above disables Skype from changing the number formatting for all visitors regardless of their personal Skype settings.

There is an easier solution. When you installed skype you also installed a skype plugin on your default browser. Click on “tools” in IE, then “manage add-ons”. from Toolbars and extensions, scroll down to find “Skype click to Call”. Click the item and choose “disable”. On older browsers it may say “remove” or “uninstall”.

hope this helps

It does work! People who are not achieving it must refresh page or clean up browser cache. Great code! Thanks.

No I couldn’t get it to work either but if you paste
_
into the number (i.e. 0800 462 _ 1234) it works, it also works for peoples names which have started to be formatted too i.e.
Lou _ Macdonald
Hope this helps
