Skype Community > Dial phone number from website? HELP?

I have an HTML document on my PC that I have Skype installed on. I can not have the Skype toolbar active on my PC.

I would like to know HTML or Javascript code to make links in the HTML document on my PC that I could click and it would cause Skype to dial the phone number - This is an actual phone number, not a Skype user.

I would prefer that the Skype windows does not popup at all, I would like to click on a link in the HTML document and i would be able to hear the phone ring and I could speak to whomever.

Please help...
Randy

<a href="skype:<countrycode><phonenumber>?call">Some text for link</a>

e.g if you wanna call the number 123456 in the UK, you use:
<a href="skype:+44123456?call">Call 123456</a>

I assume the above is what youre after...
Unfortunately skype will steal focus after clicking the link though.

I use the following code:

<a href="skype:18003427328?call">

And Skype comes up and says the Name or Number is not a valid Skype Name or Number...what?? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for all your help!

Randy, you forgot to put "+" in front of the country code. Try:

<a href="skype:+18003427328?call">

I am wanting to do this from the local machine instead of the Website.
Do I take "_skype.Call("userhandle")" and put the number in place of the userhandle or what needs to be done to convert the string to number values?

I have a text file with a list of numbers that is to be called.

Thanks.

In C#, using Skype4COM Lib, it would be for a call in the U.S. for example ("The 3 other params are optional numbers you could pass to create a conference call for a total of 4 numbers when the call is created").

_skype.PlaceCall("+18005551212","","","");

Thanks for the heads up. I would have guessed an integer would have needed passed.

I'm using VB 2005 and wondering how the SharpLogic interface is. Do I still need to public.api? Which will give me the best results, SharpLogic or the Skype4COM Lib?

Thanks.
