Please help - 'Bookmark Site'

Guest · Dec 9, 2004

Good morning!
I took the code that I got yesterday, which was to be added in the 'href' of
my link. First problem: There was no href for the text I used.
Second problem: I stuck the code in where it looked like it matched up with
the sample provided on the page where I got the code, but I wound up
anchoring the link properties like 'underline,' and though none of the links
on my page are underlined, and no matter what I try, I can't seem to
un-underline it! (but I did get it to go from blue back to black!)
Third problem: It doesn't work!!!

The little culprit is in the top right corner of every one of my pages, just
above the cart button.
http://www.steelbanana.com

PLEASE: Take a look at the code for it and offer me up a way to do it right!
I'm learning html, but I'm still mostly confused about it, so if you have
the time to cut-n-paste what line of code is wrong, and what it actually
"should" be, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks for taking the time to look and respond!
Kim

PS: If you have any feedback on the site itself, I would also appreciate
that! I've tried to revise it to increase the number of people who actually
click past my home page!

•<a
href="javascript:bookmarksite('Steel
Banana','http://www.steelbanana.com')">BOOKMARK•

should be

•<a href="javascript:bookmarksite('Steel
Banana','http://www.steelbanana.com')" style="text-decoration:
none;">BOOKMARK</a>•

You are missing the JavaScript that actually bookmarks the page.

In the <head> section (HTML or Code view) there are several copies of the
Jimco's Spawn script - you only need one copy, keep one, delete the rest.

Oh THANK YOU!!!

As for the jimco, does it matter that I have a popup set for each one of the
shields? Will deleting some of that script change what the popup is? For
all 20 shields, each one gets its own window with its own details and
individual picture....

For internet explorer, Replace this:
<a href="javascript:bookmarksite('Steel Banana','http://www.steelbanana.com')">

with this:

<A href="javascript:window.external.AddFavorite('http://www.steelbanana.com', 'Steel Banana')">

There's one that checks for browser versions so it will work in Netscape, but I can't find it at the
moment.

No, you only need one instance of the script; it will handle as many popups
as you like.

As to your post script.
<imho>
You've basically hit a visitor with too much info / to many examples, and also hit them with "Add
to cart" on the home page. First reaction is "this costs money" so they don't go any further.

The home page should be a description of:
What the site is all about.
Quality of the manufacturing process, quality of materials used.
If it is gold jewelry what is the karat rating
If silver what is the point rating, .999 down to .800, and if not .999 fine silver what is the
alloying metal used because copper in silver jewelry is what tarnishes / causes allergy problems for
people.
If titanium, there's also a rating system for it.

and so on.

You need to give them a reason to "enter" the store.
