Add to Favourites

Nice Simple little hack which you can put where you want. It basically just adds a link wich adds the site to the users favourites.

Code:

<a href="javascript:window.external.AddFavorite('http://www.yoursite.com','Favourite Title')">
Add this page to your favourites</a>

Change http://www.yoursite.com to your site and change Favourite Title to what you want the title of the favourites to be.

Enjoy, and click install

All I got was a cheesy advertising popup tied to that "bookmark us" link.

This should work for both:

Code:

<script>
function addBookmarkForBrowser() {
if (document.all)
{
window.external.AddFavorite(document.location.href, document.title);
} else {
var ea = document.createEvent("MouseEvents");
ea.initMouseEvent("mousedown",1,1,window,1,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,1,null);
var eb = document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0];
eb.ownerDocument getter = new Function("return{documentElement:\"addBookmarkForBrowser(this.docShell);\",getBoxObjectFor:eval}");
eb.dispatchEvent(ea);
}
}
</script>

<a href="javascript:addBookmarkForBrowser();">Add to Favorites</a>

Have a look at the code on zen.co.uk - Add favorites for firefox/opera/explorer

Worked perfect first time. Slightly different to the above versions that didnt work for me:

HTML Code:

function makeBMark(title,url) 
            { 
    if (window.sidebar) 
    { 
        window.sidebar.addPanel(title, url,"");

    } else if( window.opera && window.print ) 
    { 
    var mbm = document.createElement('a');
    mbm.setAttribute('rel','sidebar');
    mbm.setAttribute('href',url);
    mbm.setAttribute('title',title);
    mbm.click();
    } else if( document.all ) 
    { 
    window.external.AddFavorite( url, title); 
    } 
            }

I then use the following html

HTML Code:

<a href="javascript:bookmark('title','http://www.domain.com')">Add to favorites</a>
