I Need a Code

OK, what's the html code that I would use on my site to allow someone to bookmark the page? I want it so I have the words "Bookmark this site now" and when you click on them it bookmarks the page.

This cannot be done reliably in all browsers. Here is a way to do it in most:

But consider this, your users are already 'allowed' to bookmark yours, or any other sites.

Or just this ?

Code:

<a href=":%20Add%20to%20my%20favorites%20folder" onClick="window.external.AddFavorite(&quot;yoursite.com&quot;,&quot;nameofsite&quot;);return false">bookmark this site</a>

Which browsers will that work in?

To my knowledge, in all.
Anyone different experience ?

Have you ever used any browser other than IE? If so, does this work in any of them?

Added later:

BTW - As far as I know, the window.external object only exists in IE.

I have no experience with other browsers, but I once asked others to check my site in different browsers, and it all seems fine.
Therefore: Anyone different experience ? Can anyone try this in other browsers than IE, please ?

Doesn't work.
