1) Script Title:
bookmarksite
2) Script URL (on DD):
"javascript:bookmarksite"
3) Describe problem:

I am enclosing the script I copied to see if you can help. When I try to run it I get an error on page as described:

<html>

<head>

<script type="text/javascript">

function bookmarksite(title,url){
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>

Some of the IE extended functions are blocked in Vista, but it might be just that this works live and not locally. Did you test your page on the server, or just on your hard drive? Does the demo page on Dynamic Drive for this script work for you?
