    HI. I was wondering if someone can tell me where i can find a script or code to add to my page so that people can add my site as their home page or bookmark it if they wanted to. i tried dynamic drive but wasn't that helpful.

    thanks.

    So far I've been using this one and it works perfect for me:

    paste this between your <head> tags:

    <script type="text/javascript">

function bookmark_us(url, title){

if (window.sidebar) // firefox
    window.sidebar.addPanel(title, url, "");
else if(window.opera && window.print){ // opera
    var elem = document.createElement('a');
    elem.setAttribute('href',url);
    elem.setAttribute('title',title);
    elem.setAttribute('rel','sidebar');
    elem.click();
}
else if(document.all)// ie
    window.external.AddFavorite(url, title);
}
</script>
    Code (markup):
    This is your bookmarks link:

    I've got one I made to use on my site that I know works in the latest versions of IE, FF and Opera (so IE7, FF2 and 3, Opera 9):

    I put this in a file called bookmark.js

    function bookmarksite(title,url){
if (window.sidebar)
	window.sidebar.addPanel(title, url, "");
else if(window.opera && window.print){
	var elem = document.createElement('a');
	elem.setAttribute('href',url);
	elem.setAttribute('title',title);
	elem.setAttribute('rel','sidebar');
	elem.click();
} 
else if(document.all)
	window.external.AddFavorite(url, title);
}
    Code (markup):
    Then add this to the head section of my site:

    <script type="text/JavaScript" src="http://www.freedivs.com/javascript/bookmark.js"></script>
    Code (markup):
    Then add this as the bookmark link:

    <a href="javascript:bookmarksite('Site Name', 'URL')" title="bookmark" id="bookmark-link">Bookmark Us</a>
    Code (markup):

    Found this but i've not used it, nor looked at the code properly, so can't say if it works or not.
