Bookmark Code

[Bonjour]

Hi

Any idea on what code to use and how to set up a 'Bookmark Us' link in my site (in a fragment) (V8.5)?

I have tried various samples of code I have found on the internet which said to put code in the page header and then the h ref code in the fragment area or wherever I wanted the link. It looks set up okay (like a link) but in preview it won't bring up the 'add to favourites' pop up in explorer.

I have searched the forum, but cannot find anything, although I would have thought this a regular question or am I the only thick tart here!

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

This is user browser dependant but this is what I use for IE:

<a href="javascript:addToFavorites()" >Click to bookmark</a>

If in a fragment just enclose as follows:

!!<
<a href="javascript:addToFavorites()" >Click to bookmark</a>
>!!

Thanks for that, but still can't get it to work. Should I also be putting some code in the page header?

Yes, sorry. Put this in the HEAD:

<script language="JavaScript" type="Text/Javascript">
<!--//  Hide script from older browsers 
var urlAddress = "http://www.xxxxxxxx.co.uk/acatalog/index.htm";
var pageName = "xxxxxxxxxx";
function addToFavorites()
{
if (window.external)
{
window.external.AddFavorite(urlAddress,pageName)
}
else
{ 
alert("Sorry! Your browser doesn't support this function.");
}
}
// -->
</script>
