Firefox Javascript Bookmark Problem

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jan 29.2007

hey i am using this script for my bookmarking on my web page and it works fine in IE but in fire fox i get this problem: the bookmark window pops up and makes the bookmark fine but when i go to the bookmarks menu in Firefox and click on the bookmark the link opens up in the sidebar, and for me to stop it from doing that i have to go to the bookmarks property’s and un tick the box that says “Load this bookmark in the sidebar” so the problem is with this script that when you use it in FF it automatically has the “Load this bookmark in the sidebar” box ticked, is there away to make it work? anyone

Here is the code

This is in the <Head>

[CODE]<script type=”text/javascript”>
function bookmarksite(title, url){
if (document.all)
window.external.AddFavorite(url, title);
else if (window.sidebar)
window.sidebar.addPanel(title, url, “”)
}

</script>[/CODE]

This is linked to a bookmark image on my web page.

[CODE]javascript:bookmarksite(‘SW-Writers’, ‘http://www.hectik17.freeserverhost.com’)[/CODE]

Could someone please help asap, Thank you.

@mrhooJan 30.2007 — That's what you told it to do:

[B]window.sidebar.addPanel[/B](title, url, "")

And many users of Firefox, Opera and IE7 don't allow scripted bookmarks at all.
