IE Skype plugin

Hi guys,

My site so far looks great in Chrome, Firefox and 99.9% great in IE.

The only thing I don't like about the feel of my site in IE is that the skype plugin picks up on the telephone number and adds in a skype icon as well as some styling.

Is there any way around this?

Try not outputting the numbers as a single piece of text. Instead of

<span>888-555-1212</span> try

<span>888-</span><span>555-1212</span> and it will disable skype

if that doesn't work you can add this in your stylesheet

span[class^='skype_pnh_container'] {display:none !important;}
span[class^='skype_pnh_print_container'] {display:inline !important;}

Navid! Coming to my rescue again!!

The number displays like this:

Tel: +27 (0)82 606 1314

just check the update with the css that should do the work otherwise you should split your telnumber in sections with an span so for example:

<span>+27</span><span>082 606 1314</span>

I added the code to my CSS and then applied the classes to the span tag in the HTML. The skype plugin is still being activated.
