How to disable phone number linking in Mobile Safari?

I'm developing a mobile reporting application for a client using phonegap/jquery-mobile. A certain report we have will output IDs that look similar to phone numbers. The elements added to the dom look like:

<div>ID: 54321777</div>

While testing on the iphone, we noticed it would turn these IDs into links that open up the dialer app. Is there some way to explicitly prevent this behavior?
