Anyone have some good detailed instructions (and options) on how to insert a 'Bookmark this Page' feature. Given bookmarks were mentioned in the recent google patent. Also like to know how to control the text used to name the bookmark (inserting keywords).
The most straight forward one is set up an image with alt and title text of your keywords. Then all the user has to do is drag and drop (either to their home icon in their toolbar, or their bookmark menu, depending on how they want to use it). It works cross platform, and doesn't require JS or the like. It does require that you explain it to them though. Cheers, JL
Found it: In the Head section put this: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> function addbookmark() { bookmarkurl="http://www.pageurl.com" bookmarktitle="Whatever title you want" if (document.all) window.external.AddFavorite(bookmarkurl,bookmarktitle) } </script> In the Body section put this: <a href="javascript:addbookmark()">Bookmark This Page</a>
I have one that I thought was working in both only to find out that in FF it opens in a frame at the left side. I think the best is just to write on the site: "CTRL + D to bookmark!" or something. That works both in IE and FF.
