Non-standard
This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.
The x-ms-format-detection property determines whether data formats within content are automatically detected and (if found) converted to clickable links.
This proprietary property is specific to Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge.
Syntax
<html x-ms-format-detection="none">
element[i].setAttribute("x-ms-format-detection", "none");
Value
Type: String
all: All supported data formats are detected.
none: Format detection is turned off.
phone: Phone number patterns are matched.
*Note that links created through format detection do not affect the content or layout of the Document Object Model (DOM).
Example
To disable this automatic detection only when a certain condition is met, use JavaScript to add x-ms-format-detection attributes to elements, differentiating between mobile (detection enabled) and desktop (detection disabled) devices:
if (window.matchMedia('(min-width: 1024px)').matches) {
var e = document.getElementsByClassName("phone");
for (i = 0; i < e.length; i++)
e[i].setAttribute("x-ms-format-detection", "none");
}
In this example, phone numbers would keep the automatic styling as long as the viewport is smaller than 1024px.
