how to make a clickable phone number in iphone application by using javascript and html5 applied mysql database?

Question

and I know that <a href="tel:1-801-555-1212">1-801-555-1212</a> will make this certain number be clickable. I tested it and it works fine.

My question is if I do have a variable phone which will call from database via mysql, how can I make this variable be clickable? I've tried a lot of way but none of them work. I used the following link to create a store locator page http://code.google.com/apis/maps/articles/phpsqlsearch.html

and my original code is here.

map.setCenter(new google.maps.LatLng(position.coords.latitude, position.coords.longitude), 13);
