Problem with Egde browser. It interprets a text as a link without my telling it to

  • 772

I have a piece of html code that works fine for me in all the browsers I've tried except Egde in Win 10.

I don't know why this browser insists on formatting part of my text as if it were a link when I haven't indicated it.

any suggestion to fix it?

This is the html code

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<span style="color:red">( 983 )2018-04-04 18:20:54  [email protected] </span>
</body>
</html>

And this is what I get on the screen when I run it.

enter image description here

    Edge has a default "format detector" that analyzes text and formats it.

    To avoid this, there are two solutions:

    1.- Add the following goal in the head of the document:

    <meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no"/>

    2.- Add the attribute x-ms-format-detection="none"to the element:

    <body x-ms-format-detection="none">
	<span style="color:red" >( 983 )2018-04-04 18:20:54  [email protected] </span>
</body>

    Information about the x-ms-format-detection attribute
