iPhone Request: Clickable Phone Numbers
jakobo says:
It'd be nice to map the following regex:
\b(([\d]*?)[^\d]{0,1})?([\d]{3})[^d]?([\d]{3})[^d]?([\d]{4})\b
To the iPhone magic tel: link
$0
If this could be unobtrusively done using JS and getting the contents of elements with .task-name #task-name-text that would be even better.
(Sadly, there is no userscript.js for iPhone, else I'd have a working demo)

It seems to have eaten the tag... should read
[a href="tel:$3$4$5"]$3-$4-$5[/a]
replace [ and ] with your normal HTML tag delimiters.
[a href="tel:$3$4$5"]$3-$4-$5[/a]
replace [ and ] with your normal HTML tag delimiters.

Just coming back to this topic after a while. It's possible to set up a page on your own host that can handle the tel: link.
for example, I have mine set to
felocity.org/t.php?18001234567
It doesn't to anything truly awesome, just replaces all non 0-9 with '' and then makes a tel: link with iPhone meta tags to properly size it. clicking the link will then let you call a number. Just put the link in "URL" and you'll be able to make calls direct from your task page.
Being able to make a call from RTM was one of the last pieces I needed to help keep everything in one place. It's far from perfect, but it definitely works.

I agree. This is the one missing link that would force me into buying the pro version for my iphone.

jakobo,
Would you mind sending me the code you created? I'd like to try your idea. I really need a telephone link!
