Is there a way to get to a phones texting interface once a button is clicked? Using J Query Mobile.

I know you can make a link button to email an email address with mailto: or call someone by using tel: but is there a way to open a users texting interface specifically IOS phone or tablet to a specific phone number or contact from a link?

    I’m not sure of the OS support but on my phone with Android 2.3 when I setup a link with a sms protocol then it opens my text messaging interface when I click the link.

    For Example:

    <a href="sms:5555555555">Text Now</a>
    

    Also, I believe that PhoneGap can expose the text messaging interface on a phone programatically.
