Dialing Shoretel from a Web Page
Download Shoretel Web Dialer Here
Using these tiny scripts you can dial your Shortel phone by simply clicking a web page link. I believe Shortel is selling something a product like this. All I am asking for are links back to this page or to www.timberlinedealerships.com.
See install.txt for full notes. I am using Shoretel 6.1 on a XP workstation on IE7 and it works fine for me.
What this program does for you is registers tel: and callto: so that they can be dialed straight through to your shoretel deskphone. It also adds right click dialing to selected numbers from web pages.
Please do not link directly to the file on this server. Instead link to this web page.

Following your link to http://www.muehlen.com/projects/voip/voip_dial.html, there is a Greasemonkey script that does one click dialing. However, it only works in Firefox. Interesting.

Nice App. Is there a way to make it dial numbers that contain blanks, like (800) 555-1234?

I figured out how to make it accept numbers with embedded blanks. Problem was that embedded blanks are interpreted as parameter separators. Edit the callto.htm script and insert the following line before the shell.run command
sNewText = sNewText.replace(” “, /-/);
This replaces any blanks with a dash, resulting in a single parameter being passed.

One more thing. Inserting the sNewText.replace line replaces only the first blank found. So inserting it multiple times will handle more than one blank it it exists. I’m sure this is not good coding technique, but I don’t know any better.

Ok, Sorry for the screwup, but inserting the following line one time only
sNewText = sNewText.replace(/ /g, “-”);
before the shell.run command will replace ALL blanks with dashes.

One last note regarding the modification to replace the blanks with dashes.
If you copy/paste the “sNewText=…” line, you may have to manually edit the callto.htm file (in Notepad) and re-type the quotation marks on either side of the dash because they may paste as special characters that look like quotation marks, but are not the correct ascii code.
If you get a script error on line 10, position 35, this is the cause of that error.
