Those of you who have the Skype Internet Explorer Plugin Installed will notice that in the IE browser (mine is IE7. Dont know about other versions) automatically turns anything that looks like a phone number into a button graphic with the country code flag and a Skype Call button.

As far as functionality goes its useful for a lot of people I suppose.

But the problem I have is that it also turns FAX numbers into the Skype Call graphic.

Obviously my client doesnt want his FAX machine buzzing away with angry customers on the other end.

Is there anyway to disable the Skype Call button for specific phone numbers on the web page (in this case a FAX number) using HTML?

You can't do anything with a script using just html. You need to ask SKYPE if there's any way around this.

I've found that if you preface the number with a hyphen it disables the Skype icon.

So something like this works best.

TEL 02 2345 6789
FAX-02 9876 5432

The telephone number gets converted, for those who have the plugin installed. But the Fax number does not. Not ideal. But easy and workable.
