Adding a Trusted Sites button

is it possible?

[StoutFiles]

Considering how they have functions to "Make this your Homepage" and "Bookmark this page", I was wondering if I would be able to create a button to "Add this site to your Trusted Sites".

I'm going to assume it's a big no, but it'd make my job at work a lot easier...

Makes it a target for hackers in my opinion.

Like that "hacker proof" graphic they used to have. Saying a hacker can't do something is a sure invitation for him to try.

It's for a company intranet, so hacking would not be a problem.

Why? What's your logic on this?

I apparently can't offer any advice and I know little about intranets but I am wondering why you would think it would be a no.

I'm just running my mouth man... trying to get you a little support for your thread.... Get it back up there where some people can see it.

I like the way you write too.

Here's an old Microsoft page, but it seems to give some ideas you could play with:

Adding Sites to the Enhanced Security Configuration Zones [msdn.microsoft.com]

If it's for an intranet, the domain administrator could apply global settings to all windows machines transparently for all users (or be more selective as well should they want/need that).
Talk to the internal IT team about usign a "group policy" aka GPO to control the trusted sites.

For an external site: it's a big no-no IMHO and would scare away knowledgeable users.

I will recommend JQuery
To bookmark:

var bookmarkUrl = "url";
var bookmarkTitle = "title";
 
if (window.sidebar) { // For Mozilla Firefox Bookmark
window.sidebar.addPanel(bookmarkTitle, bookmarkUrl,"");
} else if( window.external || document.all) { // For IE Favorite
window.external.AddFavorite( bookmarkUrl, bookmarkTitle);
} else if(window.opera) { // For Opera Browsers
$("a.jQueryBookmark").attr("href",bookmarkUrl);
$("a.jQueryBookmark").attr("title",bookmarkTitle);
$("a.jQueryBookmark").attr("rel","sidebar");
} else { // for other browsers which does not support
 alert('Your browser does not support this bookmark action');
 return false;
}

Make Homepage:

<a onclick="this.style.behavior='url(#default#homepage)';this.setHomePage('url');">Make us your Homepage</a>
