Set Homepage Script

Can anyone help me by telling me a script that can set a page as a homepage when a button is clicked. It would need to work on both IE and firefox because the one I managed to find on the web works only for IE. :S

It would need to be like the button found on the google homepage.

Many Thanks

 

Fortunately, in Firefox you can't do that.

 

why fortunately????

 

And another question pls - I just noticed that on firefox the "Make google your homepage" button does not show. How is it possible to display pages differently in different browsers?

Thx

 

Fortunately because people can just drag 'n drop the link to the Home icon, and webmasters can't make them accidentally click on 'Yes' in the change homepage dialog.
On the other question: Using the HTTP User-agent header and some logic or using JS (checking for document.all) for example. This is one of the things that can easily be found with Google.

 

Actually, there's a way to make it work with Firefox.

That's for bookmarking, not for homepage-setting.

 

EDIT: Nevermind... I got mixed up.
