title: Hyperlink for telephone number and redirect
body: <p>We are building an application where the initial access would be from a mobile phone.  As such upon entry to the page. we want to give the user the opportunity to dial in if necessary, and as that occurs open another page in the browser in the same window.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href="thispage.htm" target="_self" onclick="window.open('tel://1-555-555-5555'"&gt;Dial&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>as well as this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href="tel://1-555-555-5555" onclick="window.open('thispage.htm','_self';"&gt;Dial&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Neither approach has worked. In the first instance, the hyperlink works but the telephone dialer doesn't recognize the onClick event, and the opposite occurs when the second approach is attempted, i.e. the telephone dialer shows the number but the page doesn't open in the browser.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions would be appreciated!
