Put an 'Add to Favorites' button on a Page

function addbookmark(){
if (document.all)
window.external.AddFavorite(bookmarkurl,bookmarktitle)
}


<a href="javascript:addbookmark()">Bookmark this site!</a>

Or another way...

<A HREF="javascript:window.external.AddFavorite('http://www.mysite.com/anotherdir/thispage.html', 'Title of the bookmark')">Add this page to your favorites!</A>

Actually, that is pretty much the same way--both use:


window.external.AddFavorite(bookmarkurl,bookmarktitle)

Here is another Javasript code.  Add to favourites text is displayed in explorer, but if the user is using Netscape then they are prompted to press ctrl-D.

Just paste the code wherever you want it to appear.


<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
if ((navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") && (parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4)) {

var url="http://www.yoursite.com";
var title="Your site description";

document.write('<A HREF="javascript:window.external.AddFavorite(url,title);" ');
document.write('onMouseOver=" window.status=');
document.write("'Add our site to your favorites!'; return true ");
document.write('"onMouseOut=" window.status=');
document.write("' '; return true ");
document.write('">Add our site to your favorites!</a>');
}
else {
var msg = "Don't forget to bookmark us!";
if(navigator.appName == "Netscape") msg += "  (CTRL-D)";
document.write(msg);
}

// -->
</script>

 <script language="JavaScript">
 
<!-- Begin
if ((navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") && (parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4)) {
 
var url="http://youraddress.com";
var title="Your Site Title";
 
document.write('<A HREF="javascript:window.ext');
document.write('ernal.AddFavorite(url,title);" ');
document.write('onMouseOver=" window.status=');
document.write("'Bookmark Us!'; return true ");
document.write('"onMouseOut=" window.status=');
document.write("' '; return true ");
document.write('">Bookmark Us!</a>');
}
else {
var msg = "Bookmark Us!";
if(navigator.appName == "Netscape") msg += "  (Please Bookmark Us Now Ctrl D)";
document.write(msg);
}
 
// End -->
</script>

Thanks to all for the comments - I have tried the suggestion from 'fritz the blank' at the URL http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex9/addbook.htm. It works fine. As fritz made the most comments he gets the points.

nedwob,

Glad to have helped. Any reason for the B? Is there anything else that you needed?

Fritz the Blank

hi fritz the blank

No - I meant to hit A, but finger trouble caused me to hit the B I guess!

No other problems at present

nedwob

Okay, I'll drop a note to community support requesting a change.

Fritz the Blank

Yes - please do - your answers and links certainly merit an A.

nedwob

Thanks!!!
