Hello:
I am trying to add a hyperlink to my website so that visitors will be able
to bookmark my site by clicking on it.
I know which code works for IE:
<A
HREF="javascript:window.external.AddFavorite('http://www.myswebsite.com','PHP
Freaks')">Bookmark this Site!</A>

BUT it does not work for Netscape and FireFox.

Does anybody know how to make the same work for Netscape and FireFox?

Thank you very much!

Google for add to favorites script.

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">

if ((navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE") > 0)
&& (parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4)) {
document.write("<a href='#' onclick='window.external.
AddFavorite(location.href, document.title);'>
Add this page to your favorites!</a>");

Not possible.
Usually people write "Press CTRL-D to bookmark this page" on the page.

All this will do is check for IE and provide a link only if the browser is
IE version >=4.

Perhaps Google the link I provided.

How did this solve your problem? Non-IE version >=4 will not see the link.

Yes, I did Google for Add to Favourites, and installed the following script:

<script type="text/javascript">
if ((navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") &&
(parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4)) {
var url="website";
var title="description";
document.write('<A HREF="javascript:window.external.AddFavorite(url,title)');
document.write('"<font color=#FFFFF4 face=tahoma size=8pt><b>Click to
Bookmark</b></font></a>');}
else {var alt = "<font color=#FFFFF4 face=tahoma size=2pt><b>To
bookmark<b/></font>";
if(navigator.appName == "Netscape") alt += "<font color=#FFFFF4 face=tahoma
size=2pt><b> - Press (Ctrl+D)<b/></font>";
document.write(alt);}
</SCRIPT>

Thank you all - Terrific Message Board!
