Assuming I have an HTML table with these info (writing as text but it's html behind):

lastname: MyName
firstname: MyFirstName
tel: 04 50 12 34 56
email : bla@mail.com

In html I wrote the tel field like that : 

<a href="tel:+33450123456">04 50 12 34 56</a>

When i'm on iOS, if I click on the anchor it asks me if I want to call or create contact. I want then to create a contact with all my informations already filled. Any idea? Only with HTML or JS or JQM please

You can use PhoneGap's Contact API. There is a save method method that you can call.

Just bind an click handler to the anchor tag and put the code to invoke the PhoneGap API in the handler.

I'm pretty sure this isn't possible. iOS has a bunch of url schemes included in Safari that you can take advantage of, but adding a complete new contact isn't one of them.

More information on the available schemes here:

  • "bunch" is not enough. I already use tel anchor but the thing I want is to tag elements like for a username/password in a form or an address form in chrome. I want Safari to get the name, lastname and such automatically from my form if you prefer – TecHunter Feb 29 '12 at 23:59

    And my answer is that it's not possible, unless - like user1132647 above is assuming - you are using PhoneGap. I was simply linking you to a page that explained about URI schemes and listed the ones that were possible to show you that what you want to do isn't possible. – will Mar 01 '12 at 10:13
