iPhone safari phone link bug
August 2, 2008
Today while developing my first iPhone web page, I discovered a bug. The iPhone converts the date/time stamp from a list into a phone number!
The following text in a html file will become a phone number:
10:10 1/1/2008
This is how I fixed it:
10:10 <!-- -->1/1/2008
Now is that crazy or is there some country where “10 1/1/2008″ is a valid phone number??!? See this photo of it in action (some dates fixed, some not)
Demonstration of iphone thinking a date is a phone number
