PopUp Bookmark script (of a different kind) wanted

[IT_Master]

Good morning/afternoon/evening (delete as appropriate)

I have look around in the forum and i have googled a fair amount but i can not find an answer to the following question: "where i can find or how can i make a popup bookmark window WHICH will stop poping up if the user bookmarks the site or it has already bookmark the site?"

I know that popups are annoying and my precious firefox kill them all :-)...although i am designing a page for someone else and it is required. Thank you in advance for your help

This would be a challenge, and not 100% foolproof no matter what.

First, you cannot read bookmarks directly on someone else's computer (that would be a huge security problem if you could!)

So, you would need to use cookies - give a cookie when someone clicks on your bookmark script. Then read cookies and serve up a different page if the bookmark cookie was present.

This is all server side scripting (or in a pinch, javascript) and cannot be dome with HTML on its own.

First of all thank you for your reply...i thought that is going to be something along these lines which is far beyond my coding capabilities. I will have to explain that it is very hard to be done and it will cost loads of money to be done...the sound of costing loads of money always scares ppl off...thanx again
