If you view my page below:

/

... In Google Chrome (Specifically, maybe others as well?).

You will notice that there is some Skype Extension that allows users to do a Click-And-Call from the Browser. Which is messing up my design pretty bad...

How do I come across getting rid of this feature/function?

Is there some JavaScript? jQuery? HTML?

Thank you so much! Aaron

• javascript
• html
• google-chrome
• browser
• skype

• I'm afraid I don't see the problem. It will seem to be an issue only for users who actually have that extension installed. – Peter O. Commented Jan 11, 2012 at 5:12
• would this question be better asked (and answered) on Super User ?? – Michael Dautermann Commented Jan 11, 2012 at 5:12

following jQuery Extension will return whether skype extension is installed or not. if it is installed you can remove the wraped link placed plain text.

jQuery.extend({
    skype : function(failureFunction) {
        var $ = jQuery;

        if ($.browser.safari || $.browser.opera) {
            return true;
        } else if ($.browser.msie) {
            try {
                if (new ActiveXObject("Skype.Detection")) return true;
            } catch(e) { }
        } else {
            if (typeof(navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-skype"]) == "object") {
                return true;
            }
        }
        $('a[href^="skype:"]').click(function() {
            failureFunction();
            return false;
        });
        return false;
    }
});

The solution is putting this meta into the section of the page/s.

<meta name="SKYPE_TOOLBAR" content="SKYPE_TOOLBAR_PARSER_COMPATIBLE" />

Hope this help

Go to "Tools -> Extensions" and uncheck the "Enable" box beside the "Skype Links" extension

How can you be sure that users browsing your site won't have this plugin installed? You'll need to handle this possibility in your code, so that your page does not break.

Yes, go to your Add-ons or Extensions and just get them disabled and you won't be disturbed anymore
