Because the Skype plug-in is written as a BHO (browser helper object), which each user has downloaded and installed
- the BHO parses the page (thru hooks in the browser) to look for the phone #
You can not do the same on anyone else's PC / browser w/ just a client side script (JavaScript)
You need to write a dll or com bho and the user needs to install it
| Yes, that is true but partially. I am able to run that java script on the

| I do not have idea how to run it on any webpage, anywhere.
| Skype plugin is able to do that!
