skype number recognition

Question

Is it possible to turn off skype number recognition with some html or javascript? I'm NOT interested in turning it off only for my machine but for anyone visiting my page. I have seen the

<meta name="SKYPE_TOOLBAR" content="SKYPE_TOOLBAR_PARSER_COMPATIBLE" />

business but it does not work for me with Firefox. I've also seen comments that this meta is not recognized in skype 4.2.

This is quite a problem since skype is recognizing data in table as phone numbers. For example, the line with two angles

00 23 58 17 45 00

is recognized as a phone number in Chad!

I know I could add some invisible rubbish to these numbers but there are a bunch of them and that's pretty ugly.

You could always add the following CSS:

#skype_pnh_container, #skype_plugin_object, #skype_highlighting_settings {
    display: none !important;
}
