    I'm looking for free softwares that allow users to:
    - bookmark a website by clicking on a button, and
    - refer a website to friends.

    Are there good ones out there?

    you can use this for "bookmark this site"

    <a href="javascript:var Loc='http://www.linkofyoursite.com';window.external.AddFavorite(Loc, 'text you want in the bookmark')"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Bookmark this site</font></a>
    Code (markup):
    hope to be helpful :)

    Eric007, I have a bookmark script that works for Firefox, IE and Opera web browsers..

    Put this in the <HEAD> of your webpage:
    <script language=JavaScript1.2>
    function addBookmark(title,url) {
    if (window.sidebar) {
    window.sidebar.addPanel(title, url,"");
    } else if( document.all ) {
    window.external.AddFavorite( url, title);
    } else if( window.opera && window.print ) {
    return true;
    }
    }
    </SCRIPT>

    Now use this for the link:
    <a href="#" onmousedown="addBookmark('Your Site Name | Your Description','http://www.Your-URL.com')">Bookmark Us </a>

    That should work, let me know if it doesnt.

    No problem. You can always swap out the "Bookmark Us" and place and image there.

    for the "refer to a friend" script you can use php if you have it enabled in your hosting account with the mail() function.

    Refer a Friend script would be something like this:

    HTML:
    
Friend's Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br />
Friend's Email: <input type="text" name="email"><br />
<input type="submit" value="Refer a Friend">
    HTML:
    PHP:
    
<?php
$name = mysql_escape_string($_POST['name']);
$email = mysql_escape_string($_POST['email']);
$message = $name." thinks you should visit our site at www.mysite.com!";
mail($email, 'My Subject', $message);
?>
    PHP:
