Hi,
I want to bookmark a link using javascript.
There is an func window.external.AddFavorite(url,title) for bookmarking a link in IE.
But i can’t find same facility for other browsers (i.e. mozilla, firefox, safari, netscape)
So if ne1 knows plz help me out…

[B]But it will just show the bookmark dialog box.[/B]

After that the user has to press yes/no to bookmark the page.

How can i come to know that user bookmarked that link or not? :eek:

Is there ne method or can i do such thing so that the dialogue box will not

appear and the link bookmarked directly w/o promting the user.

@KorJun 23.2006 — #I doubt there is such a method. After all, as a user, I would like to keep full controll of my bookmark.

@felgallJun 23.2006 — #For Mozilla, Firefox, Netscape, and Opera 9 there is CTRL-D

For earlier versions of Opera there is CTRL-T

The user has to press that key combination themselves - there is no Javascript to do it for them.

Sir, I guess that 99.99% of the users who will click that link will bookmark it for sure, otherwise they would not have click it. You may count almost for sure each click on that link as a bookmarked link.
