[Seer]

Anyone know how dial a phone number from an html page by say clicking on a
name, I'm sure I've seen it done somewhere.

I believe the tel URI scheme looks something like this:

<a href="+441234567890">a name</a>

Assuming the browser is set up to recognise it, and is configured to dial
some device in response to it - it should work.

What I was after was putting some speed dial buttons or names on an active
desktop for easy dialing, for my aging Mother.

<a href="tel:+448457703236">Phone me at work</a>

Not many (any?) browsers support this natively, but some do with plugins.

You can also specify extensions:

<a href="tel:+448457703236;postd=2324">Phone me at work</a>

Surely you need a to identify the protocol, though.
