[thelist] Getting iPhone to dial-on-click

[Rick Alexander]

Frank,

I have this working at http://iphone.tsdeaf.org/phone.html. Works fine 
for all I have asked to try it. There are no tags for the phone numbers 
in the html.

The difference I see right away is in how the number is formatted. Mine 
are 555-555-5555, no parentheses.
