I would like to give viewers an easy option to automatically bookmark my site during their visit. What is the code and how do I do it?
Thanks

Re: How do I create “Bookmark This Site” on my webpage?
Add this between your <head> </head> tags:
<script language="JavaScript" >
// script by http://www.yourwebsite.com
var urlAddress = "http://www.yourwebsite.com";
var pageName = "yourwebsite.com - Your page name here";
function addToFavorites() {
if (window.external) { window.external.AddFavorite(urlAddress,pageName)}
else { alert("Sorry! Your browser doesn't support this feature.");}
}
</script>
Place this in your <body> somewhere:
<a href="javascript:addToFavorites()">Click To Bookmark This Page !</a>

Re: How do I create “Bookmark This Site” on my webpage?
Nice one, definately an easier method and doesn't require access to the <head> tag. But the above doesn't work on my site, I think it's because of the semi colon. This does however work (I've removed the img):

It should work with the image. That's how I have it setup. Maybe the img tag just needs to be closed.

Re: How do I create “Bookmark This Site” on my webpage?
Yes. Your site is built with PHP.
Use jessiesc's suggestion and put the function in the header. Backslash any full quotes (\").
Backslash any full quotes wherever you put it into the page also like so:
<a href=\"javascript:window.external.AddFavorite('htt p ://www.mysite.com','Favorites text')\">Bookmark Us</a>
Then it'll work fine. Try it on a test page if you think you'll have problems until it functions properly, then transplant it.LanGard MicroDevelopers Oregon Real Estate Agent and Company Directory
