HTML - Icon For Desktop

I've got a bunch of tel: links on a site that work great with mobiles and desktops that have softphones but how can I tell the browser to not treat it like a dead link if no such application exists? Here's an example - clik on any phone number: http://sketch.uk.com/admin_contacts.php?menu=8

Hey there guys...

I've been trying to make an HTML program that opens programs I direct it to. Now I have the layout all correct, it looks almost like a control panel with my most commonly used programs. I put hyper links on the pictures, but when I click on the picture that dialog box keeps opening!

It's getting a bit irritating... Is there a way I can make them open with out keep clicking on open or save in the dialog box. I can't get notepad opened either!

This is not web based just for my PC if that makes anything any easier!

Also if there anything in JAVA that will be cool. I saw something to do with PERL but I cannot run the code on my PC, I think thats only web based and the coding is way to complicated!

Thanks

I am trying to figure out how the user can click ANYWHERE on the webpage, and it will execute the 'Show Desktop' command (like in the quicklaunch -- for windows XP).

The webpage will be used as the desktop background. I want the user to be able to click on the desktop background, and all other windows will become minimized.

An onclick function perhaps, or something that executes "Windows key + M"?

Please help, this is for my job lol

Hi everyone. I need some advice.

I currently run a website for the local snooker league here, http://www.ldbsa.co.uk, and I have a mobile version of the site, http://mobile.ldbsa.co.uk. Currently these are two separate sites, with a PHP script running on the pages to determine what browser and device is being used, and being re-directed to the mobile site should you be on a mobile device.

My main issue with this is that I have to update both websites separately, as they are two compeltely independent websites, both pulling the same data in from a MySQL database though.

What I would like to do, is to have the same website for both, with a different stylesheet loading depending on the device. This obviously has its advantages in that I only have to update the site once, but the disadvantages come when coding the site.

One other method I though about doing is to turn virtually all areas of the site into database driven, including menu items, headers, references to images etc. This way, all I need to do is the write two different stylesheets for the main structure and look of the both versions. The main difficulty I see happening is coding a structure in html that will work for both mobile nad desktop devices.

Is this the best way to go about it? Or would you advise keeping the two sites separate?

I have a website for my company, and at the bottom I have a clickable button which gives access to "resources" such as manuals and diagrams which is only accessible with a username and password.

I would like to add a button that automatically opens the remote desktop connection tool (mstsc) on the users machine, and ideally ammend some of the default settings of this (drives, sounds etc).

I have no idea if this is even possible!

Any pointers (or a simple NO!) would be great!

Here's what I'm up to:

Made this scrolling desktop background on my Windows XP machine and found that the desktop icons, which appear transparent over a standard, static wallpaper, are no longer so when the desktop background is changed to an HTML one. That is, the text that displays as if typed with a drop-shadow over a static .jpg wallpaper image shows up over an HTML background inside a colored box. I'd like to get the "no box" effect, the standard XP text with a drop shadow, over the HTML background. Is this possible?

I want something like what's circled in red above, And I've made my own. Now, how do I do this?

Does anyone know where I can find an icon of a padlock? I need one that's opened and one that's closed.

Thanks!

How do you make that little icon that appears at the address of your browser's address bar and in the favrotes' menu?
You know that like 16x16 picture...
How do I put tyhat into my pages?
Thanks.

I know what a favicon.ico is and I'm using them.

But I ran into a site that has something more.

take a look at the URL line at

www.usaa.com

It has a favicon and then the word 'united services automobile Assoication' and then the standard http url.

What is that?

How do you do that?

Hey

Some webpages have an icon attached to it. In Firefox, that icon in at the left of each tab, and they're also seen while looking through the bookmarks list. For instance, all yahoo pages have a red Y.

How does one add such an icon to their page?

Could someone point me to a page with (easily followed) instructions?

Thanks!

Hi,
In most of the web sites nowadays we can see an icon appearing before the URL in the address bar. What is the technique behind it ?
Even in this web site it appears.

How can I change the "e" in the address box of Windows explorer with my own icon when someone goes to my url?

This might not be html at all, but how do you get the little icon on the page tabs on people's browsers (like the lightbulb on this page) ? Can't find the info anywhere.

Thanks.
