Bookmarks...help please!

[Guest]

Hi, I have created a webpage and have included a gif to remind people to set a bookmark
Is there a way to create a link in the gif so that when they click on it, it wil
automatically create an entry in their favorites list?!
Thanks }

 

[Steve Easton]

Try this one.


<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>");
}
file://-->
</script>

Replace Add this page to your Favorites with: img src="myimage.gif"

With myimage.gif being the image you want to use.

Sheesh.....I appreciate the help folks, thanks, but somehow my html deficient brain is not grasping this. I am not proficient in HTm yet and as such have been using front page to create most everything. Tried both suggestions here and messed the page up. Is there any way to have front page do the same task for me?!?

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

No. You have to use one of the provide solutions.

Create a cell on the page where you want the bookmark image to appear.
Copy and paste the code provided into the cell in html view.

Hi....thanks again, I did have a space created where I had a gif on the page and I DID go into the html mode to put the code in, but it didn't work out. Sorry, this is where you get to speak down to me and put it in the basest terms...lol

 

[Guest]

Hi again....got it to work or at least try to with the bot from DI....only it had a scripting error after I got through with it, and also, I can't get it to keep the link intact and still have th picture I want....is this making any sense?!? S

 

[Steve Easton]

OK.
Remove the gif. Copy and paste the code into the cell where you want the
bookmark and let it show the "Add this page to your favorites text."

Then in the middle of the "Add this page to your favorites text" insert your
gif image using the insert picture icon.
Then simply place your mouse cursor at the end of the text and backspace
until you reach the image. Then place it on the other side and backspace out
the rest of the text.

Then save

Would it just be a lot less painful for all of you if I included the url for my page and the page name?! HOw about a copy of the GIF?!? anyone interested in helping to set it up? Thanks so much

 

[Steve Easton]

A URL of the page with the gif showing on the page where you want it.

Hi, thanks for your patience. I appreciate it I know I am coming off as not so bright here.....lol.
I learn better by seeing it and this is all quite new to me
Hooray!!! I have got the bookmark part to work...but have yet to quite figure out how to put a gif in there instead of simply having the written text
The url for my page is... www3.telus.net/PoohsHunnyBee
If you are proficient at using Frontpage can you maybe give me some pointers on using a photo gallery?!? I have mine installed but this last time I published I have lost the ability to scroll through the pictures in the albums. The arrows are there, and they are still colored to indicate more photos are there, but they won't shuffle along like they are supposed to....any ideas
Thanks again
Colleen

hi Colleen, first of all, don't feel bad about all the questions, i looked at your site and you have done a great job. the code for the bookmark is not html, but java script. very complicated stuff and over my head too. sorry. about your site : the email link does not seem to work. and there are some funny characters after your enjoy line. ( o }) i am very impressed with your picture gallery. i am just getting started using FP2000. if you would be willing to give me some hints on how to do a picture gallery with the images changing sizes when clicked the way they do on your site, i would really really appreaciate it. my email is : (e-mail address removed). or post a reply here. thanx, Kleo
