Hello all
Need some help here relating to a clickable telephone link in a mobile version of an interface I've created.
I've created a text variable called varTelNo - this is visible and is filled in using the skin configuration button.

In the skin I have telephone icon with the following:
Mouse Click, Action: go to url, URL: tel:($*varTelNo).

However this doesn't work at all in Firefox for mobile (nothing happens at all).

In Mobile Safari all I get is pop up box saying Call:*varTelNo? - when you press yes to call it opens up the telephone app with a completely different number than was put in the variable.
For instance if the varibale is set to 0800 123456 I'll get something random lke 82766584.

Anyone using buttons to initiate a telephone call? would really appreciate some help here.

Many thanks

Hello Hopki

As usual you have saved the day! Seems I got my dollar sign and parentheses in the wrong place and didn't have the target set.
Changed everything to your example and now works a treat - crisis averted!

Again thank you.

Regards
Paul
