SMS linking on mobile browsers, Can’t add message to link
So today at work I spent several minutes trying to figure out how to send an sms link with a message along with it. Turns out according to the iPhone URL Scheme, you can’t do it (at least for their phones). So to all those people who are going to try to search on the web (hopefully this blog post ranks high in the search results) I’ll make it easy for you and show you what you can do:
<a href=”sms:1234567890″>SMS Message</a>
You can also add more than number:
<a href=”sms:1234567890,1234567890″>SMS Message</a>
Nothing else. You can’t add a message along with it.
You can also see what this guy tried here and failed.
Seriously! Why are people still using IE6?
As a web developer, I hate it when we have to make our sites compatible with IE6. I develop with FF and then test in Safari/Chrome/Opera. When it comes to IE, I have to test in both IE6 and IE7, becuase 20% of the users on the internet feel that IE6 is the best browser or they fail to upgrade or they are on a company PC which and too lazy to upgrade.
I really can’t take this anymore. There needs to be a universal appeal from all web developers worldwide to stop developing for IE6. In fact we should make all our sites not accesible in IE6 and force everyone to upgrade to IE7 or switch to FF.
