Changing a bookmark

[hannamyluv]

Is it possible that when someone saves to favorites or bookmarks, to change the URL they are saving, so that it is different from the actual URL in the browser?

Why would you want to do that?

I know there is a way to write a script that will set bookmarks, and you can probably make them whatever you want.

Also, I think there is a way that can put a button on your site that says "bookmark" this page and then you can deliver something else to the browser.

Still... it doesn't sound like a legit thing to me. "Bookmark this page on puppies" then deliver a book mark to porn? Not cool.

I'm sure you have a legit reason.

I do. It's more to look into ways of removing a session id from the URL. I know, I know, I could redo the site, but I do not have that luxery at this moment so I was wondering if there were any round about ways to do it.

Bookmarking current URL using solely browser's interface (ie its menues, not clicking element onsite which prompts to bookmark page) is supposed to be totally bypassing site and thus you won't be able to modify URL.

removing a session id from the URL

Ooooooh. I get it now ;)

Maybe somewhere you could put something like "if you want to bookmark this site, please bookmark the homepage. Due to technical issues, bookmarking an internal page won't work. We are working on this issue and should have it resolved soon."? What do you think of that? Not the elegant solution I'm sure you wanted, but it might get the point across until you can get rid of the session IDs.

That'd be good, Mike - but would people read it? I would depending on the page of course, but I'm sort of anal about stuff....
