Mobile browser is automatically creating a link for "2011-2012"

  • Doing
    © 2011-2012 Blahblah

    and viewing that page in a mobile browser (I have just tested with Opera) creates a link with tel protocol and offers to call to 2011-2012 when clicked. How do I make that link unclickable? or even how do I remove that link at all?
  • try spacing?

    2011 - 2012

    or you could reserve that phone number and forward it to Blahblah. -=op
  • Agree with Schmotty, separate the numbers by adding spacing. Though I'm not sure why you'd have a copyright notice that extends over multiple years, it would typically only be from the year that the site is created.

    To override the tel protocol in Safari for iOS devices, put the following in your head:

    < meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no" >

    Hope that meets with your needs!
