var partnerId = $('.partnerId').html();
The code above pulls the inner html from
<span id="_ctl0_ContentPlaceHolder1_lPartnerID" class="partnerId">1122</span></td>
correctly on IE7 and firefox. The code fails on iPad.
alert(partnerId) returns “1122” correctly on FireFox and IE7. But, on iPad I get
<a href="tel:1122">1122</a> as my return value.
How can I fix this?
Just a moment before I posted, I figured out how to fix the problem. Someone else may benefit from this solution so I posted anyhow. The issue is due to iPads telephone number detection. iPad wraps what it believes to be a telephone# in some HTML (what you see above). In my case, I do not need or want phone number detection. So I stuck
<meta name = "format-detection" content = "telephone=no" />in the master page header. Problem solved.
