Phone numbers and days in blue.

Hello everyone, I am making good progress on my first app, love the new site by the way. I am making a few HTML pages and I noticed that all references to days, hours, telephone numbers show up underlined in blue on the simulator. I assume that users can click on a date and set it in their agenda or click on a number and call, etc... My questions are: 1-Will it look the same way on a real device ? (read :as ugly) 2-If yes, can this be overwritten (with css for example?) Thanks and regards, Farcat

Hi, I guess, if you take a look at the source, that you can modify the attributes. If you already know HTML & CSS, this is a piece of cake ;) Anthony P.S.: Are you French ?

Thanks Skyr0s for the quick reply. He he, I can't believe that my accent is even showing on my posts!!. Yes I am, nobody is perfect…. Are you? French I mean. :) About CSS, well I looked and unless I am missing something obvious the text for days is styled the same way as the rest. I am puzzled.

I am French, but exiled to Hong Kong :) About the CSS, if you do not see the attribute, it is probably because BuzzTouch automatically changes the text from black non-underlined to Blue underlined. I believe that defining "color:#FFFFFF" and "font-style:clear" would clear the blue. Good luck, fellow Frenchie :) Anthony, ou Antoine

There is a setting in advanced settings to display dates, phones etc as links, you need to set to no! Happy Saturday!

Nope, doesn't work. Even creating span tags around each occurrence of days and changing the style doesn't work. I guess that it cannot be overridden. I'll have to wait for the testing on a real device to see how it looks.
