HTML for bookmarking a page

Bookmarking HML

[Fortune Hunter]

Does anyone know what the HTML I have to add to a graphic or button would be to have it bookmarked when the user clicks on it?

A search using your favourite search engine for "bookmark script" should yield some helpful results.

It'll probably be some javascript though not HTML so don't be put off!

The script part goes in the head section.

<script language="JavaScript1.2">
var bookmarkurl="http://www.yoursite.com";
var bookmarktitle="Your Site Name";

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

</script>

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

All:

Thank you for the tip, I guess I should have thought of that myself. I did as you suggested and found some scripts. The script works fine if I just dump it in a page, but I really want to assign the script to an image or graphic on the page like a picture or graphic. When I try that is doesn't work properly. I thought if someone looked at what I was doing they could spot the error.

Here is the script I found

<a href="javascript:window.external.AddFavorite('http://simplythebest.net/scripts/', 'SimplytheBest DHTML Scripts & Javascripts')">
<font face="Arial" size="2">Add SimplytheBest DHTML Scripts and Javascripts to your favorites</font></a>

Here is how I am putting it in my page with the graphic image, where it isn't working right...

<p><a href="%3Ca%20href=%22javascript:window.external.AddFavorite(%27http://simplythebest.net/scripts/%27,%20%27SimplytheBest%20DHTML%20Scripts%20&%20Javascripts%27)%22%3E"><img src="Images/submit_button.gif" width="117" height="24" border="0"></a></p>

If either of you can look at this and see how to assign this script to the graphic and have it work please let me know. Thanks!

I don't kniow java but maybe it is that you are accessing a remote script and you are trying to embed a local attribute in it or that the replacement of % and numbers in the path for spaces doesnt work.
If you try the one i posted with a local hosted pic instead of text it should work fine.
Good Luck

Rats, to late to edit, should a known better than to try to advise on this. Of course its not an external script, pardon my post.
