how to call a phone number through javascript without using <a> tag?

Question

I designed a mobile web page. There I have a phone number field, which on clicking should call that particular number. I can't use:

<a href="tel:+1800229933"></a> 

Because I have added the phone number field using table tag as follows:

<table>   <tr>     <td>Phone: 900 300 400</td>   </tr> </table> 

Are there any other methods(like OnClick event) to call that phone number on clicking that column?

Answer 1

You can simply add an onclick handler to your <tr> tag, then call window.open("tel:+1800229933");.

Like so:

<table>   <tr onclick="window.open('tel:900300400');">     <td>Phone: 900 300 400</td>   </tr> </table>
