Thanks for the idea, Jo Ann. I already tried that but thought it might get confusing for non-iphone users. On everything else, the little "link hand" shows up, but when someone clicks on it, they get an error page.

I think I'm leaning towards the non-linking button option so the numbers will still look like the text around them. There's a phone number at the top of each page anyway, so iphone users could click that one.

Now I have to decide what to do in place of the scrolling div on my site (my never to be finished site). I may just have to pay someone else to do it for me

By the way, are any of the HTML Editor themes especially suited to sites that need to shrink for mobile devices? Given the amount of time I spend trying to cobble together stuff in the Editor, it might be time to try building an entire site in it

Paintbrush How about using an html box for the phone numbers and hard code them. You can then use some css on it to make it the color and font you need.

Eric, that's what I was doing.
I was using the editor to try out various HTML/CSS combinations then using the HTML tool to put the numbers on the page.
The last one looked fine on my computers, but it still reverts to white on iphones:



I wasn't sure if I needed to do this for each link state (hover....), but since the 'a' link showed as white instead of #336c93, I didn't go any further with it.

Try this.
Paste to the Body HTML oc an HTML box

Paste this to the Header HTML of the same HTML box.

or do as I do and use the standard text tool in VSD.

I'll give it a try.


That's what got me into this mess I thought all was fine until someone let me know she couldn't see the numbers. I can't have white text on a white background, and I'm not changing the color of all the other links just to suit those 2 numbers (that only show as links on idevices).
That blue text was a very specific requirement of the foundation – it's their "signature color", used on all their designed materials.
So either the code works, or they become button text on a white shape.

Thanks, Eric

So they want that color no matter what state the link is in? This will work.

I agree with the group - these Apple links are kicking me around as well. Even simple things like days of the week are being converted. Hopefully iOS 6 will make some improvements along this line.

I wish Apple would just butt out and let me decide my own link colors.
Found one on another site – the phone number is within a sentence and it's showing up bright tomato red. All other links are light green.
