Preventing Blackberry browser from messing up your UI

I’ve previously given steps to prevent phone numbers (and other elements) from being automatically reformatted by Skype Toolbar and IOS Safari, there is still a small segment of the user population that uses Blackberry devices that can similarly benefit from a little code.

The following stops auto detection and formatting of phone and email addresses on devices with the BlackBerry Browser.

HTML:

<meta http-equiv="x-rim-auto-match" content="none" />

WML:

<meta name="x-rim-auto-match" http-equiv="x-rim-auto-match" forua="true" content="none" />
