Href tag tel: not working

Question

I know this question has been asked lot of times. But I don't find a solution for my problem.

I have a link like which I want to make an externall call from mobile view like this:

<a href="tel:902 1111 111">902 111 111</a>

But when I click on it, it's not working. I'm using: Java ee , HTML , CSS to build my page. Any idea on why it's not working?

Answer 1

The issue can be related to a click event handler which might be preventing the default behaviour of the link. For example, return:false in the end of the handler might be preventing this behaviour. Try checking that and remove it. This should fix the problem.
