Paul,
The MOC tabs do have some limitations. Unfortunately I've never seen a doc that outlines them - we just find them as we work on different projects. In any case, a friend of mine developed a workaround for this. Basically you have to launch a browser window with the phone number that in turn runs the tel: command. It's slightly convoluted but it works. Here is the base code:
Point your tab to an html file with this code:
Code Snippet
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<a href="#" onclick="window.open('tabtest2.htm?tel=15551231234',null,'location=0,status=0,scrollbars=0,width=100,height=100');">Test</a>
</body>
</html>
Note the reference to tabtest2.htm. Here is the code for that file:
Code Snippet
<head>
<title>Untitled Page</title>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
//gup function from http://www.netlobo.com/url_query_string_javascript.html
function gup( name ){ name = name.replace(/[\[]/,"\\\[").replace(/[\]]/,"\\\]"); var regexS = "[\\?&]"+name+"=([^&#]*)"; var regex = new RegExp( regexS ); var results = regex.exec( window.location.href ); if( results == null ) return ""; else return results[1];}
function dial()
{
window.location='tel:+'+gup('tel');
window.setTimeout(closeMe,500);
}
function closeMe()
{
this.opener=this;this.close();
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="dial()">
</body>
</html>
As long as you have the page hosted on a server in a trusted zone for the client it will close automatically.
I know it's not ideal, but so far it seems to be the only way to get around this. Good luck.
