    Something like...

    <a href="#" onclick="this.style.behavior='url(#default#homepage)';this.setHomePage('http://www.vbcoderz.com');" style="font-size:12px;color:#ffffff;font-family:verdana;">Set as Home Page</a>
    Code (markup):
    Change the link to yours and the text if needed

    Clicking it will set it as your homepage. Homepage is the house or home Icon on your browser.

    I added the code in php file on my template. It's not working, My default Homepage is still the homepage after clicking the link. It did not set a new homepage.

	elem.setAttribute('href',url);

    Put that under your <head>

    
<a href="javascript:bookmarksite('yoursite', 'http://www.yoursite.com')">Bookmark Our Site!</a>

    Use that in the page to add the link. Works in all browsers I am pretty sure. I tested in IE and FF.

    It's bookmarking it instead of setting it to homepage

    CTRL+D will only save and bookmark the site. I'm looking for how to set a site as Homepage. It's the site that opens when clicking the icon which looks like a House.

    Yahoo can do it on IE after downloading a toolbar

    Is there a script that works like Dragging a site or banner link and drop it onto the "House" icon. when the button or link was clicked? After clicking it a pop up window will open asking "Do you want this document to be your new home page?"
