Trigger phone call with Javascript

Question

I would like to trigger a tel:12345 HREF using only Javascript, not with an anchor. I simply want to grab the value of an input field and use JS to prompt the user to call the number typed in. My trigger will be a button located next to the field.

Suggestions?

Answer 1

Use:

window.open('tel:12345');

Answer 2

<button onclick="myFunction()">
Call
</button>

function myFunction(){
var a = document.getElementById('input').value;
window.location.href = 'tel:' + a;
}
You can also view the live version on my website:

Here we make a button and assign a function to it that bassically select the input, get the value, and the window.location.href will have the value of the input and it'll sent the url to call any number.
