So I'm having problems with a site I'm developing for a library getting a device to send sms, depending on the OS.

Code snippet:

<li><a href="smsto://5555555" >Text a librarian</a></li>

This variation works just fine w/ a Motorola A855 running the latest Android OS.

However, it will not work with iPod Touch, iPhone 4gs, or Blackberry. This code does however:

<li><a href="sms://5555555" >Text a librarian</a></li> (it doesn't work w/ Android though, the SMS app loads w/o a number in the To: field)

Do I need some kind of device recognition script to direct it to use a certain html code based upon device profile?

This seems needlessly complicated. Hopefully I'm just making a small and stupid mistake.

I'm using jQuery Mobile 1.0 with Adobe Dw CS5.5.

Thanks

Brendan
