Links

As of Release 1.8, the 4630/4630SW IP Telephones support dialing from hyperlinks. Specifically, if the value of the HREF attribute for a given link is of the form tel:nnnnn or javascript:dial(‘nnnnn’), when that link is selected, the characters nnnnn are passed to the 4630/4630SW Phone application for direct dialing.

Hyperlinks are the heart of the web browser’s power. The link is what allows the user to click on some text or an image to jump to another web site, another page within this site, or another area in this page. Although URLs allow various protocols to be used, only http and https should be used for the 4630 IP Telephone Web Browser.

• <a> specifies the full or relative URL for a hyperlink. When using the target attribute, the _blank name should never be used. With the exception of frames, the 4630 IP Telephone Web Browser is not intended to be a multi-window browser. Thus, if a page attempts to reference a new, non-frame window, the browser will become confused and a reboot will be necessary.
• <base> defines the default target to be used in all <a> tags. This is done by setting the target attribute of the <base> tag. If the target attribute has been set in the <a> tag, the <base> tag value is ignored.

The use of the target attribute with the Web Access Application is strongly discouraged because the application supports a single window for browsing. The use of the target attribute may cause the browser software to create a new window that is outside of the Web Access Application's control.
