Bookmark Code for All Browsers

[Dave]

Hello:
I am trying to add a hyperlink to my website so that visitors will be able
to bookmark my site by clicking on it.
I know which code works for IE:
<A
HREF="javascript:window.external.AddFavorite('http://www.myswebsite.com','PHP
Freaks')">Bookmark this Site!</A>

BUT it does not work for Netscape and FireFox.

Does anybody know how to make the same work for Netscape and FireFox?

Thank you very much!

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">

&& (parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4)) {
document.write("<a href='#' onclick='window.external.
AddFavorite(location.href, document.title);'>
Add this page to your favorites!</a>");
}
file://-->
</SCRIPT>

How is that going to work in Netscape and Firefox as asked about?

Not possible.
Usually people write "Press CTRL-D to bookmark this page" on the page.

It's right out of the MSDN library.

All this will do is check for IE and provide a link only if the browser is
IE version >=4.

Perhaps Google the link I provided.

How did this solve your problem? Non-IE version >=4 will not see the link.

Yes, I did Google for Add to Favourites, and installed the following script:

<script type="text/javascript">
if ((navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") &&
(parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4)) {
var url="website";
var title="description";
document.write('<A HREF="javascript:window.external.AddFavorite(url,title)');
document.write('"<font color=#FFFFF4 face=tahoma size=8pt><b>Click to
Bookmark</b></font></a>');}
else {var alt = "<font color=#FFFFF4 face=tahoma size=2pt><b>To
bookmark<b/></font>";
if(navigator.appName == "Netscape") alt += "<font color=#FFFFF4 face=tahoma
size=2pt><b> - Press (Ctrl+D)<b/></font>";
document.write(alt);}
</SCRIPT>

Thank you all - Terrific Message Board!

Here's an alternative without Javascript

<!--[if gte IE 4]>
<a
href="javascript:window.external.AddFavorite('http://tandcl.homemail.com.au','your
title')";>
Add our site to your favorites!</a>
<![endif]-->

<![if !IE]>
<font color=blue>
<u>To add our site to your favorites - Press (Ctrl+D)</u>
</font>
<![endif]>

Change http://tandcl.homemail.com.au to your website name
Change 'your title' to whatever
