Bookmark this site

Hi All,
I wanted to include the functionality to "Bookmark this Site", much like www.xara.com has at the bottom right. I could not find any reference to how to do this in the help file for Web Designer Pro. Is it "out-of-the-box" or needs coding? If the latter, would be nice to get some code...;) (I am a newbie)

add this code to the head of your page

Code:

---

<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>

---

add this javascript as a link to where you want people to click

Code:

---

<a href="javascript:bookmarksite('My Great Site', 'http://www.mygreatsite.com')">Bookmark this site!</a>

---

Thank you kindly! Will give it a go!

Another small request: how to provide a button link for "Back to top" at the bottom of pages? Does not seem to be covered in the links options?

put a placeholder image at the top of your document (even overlapping the grey space above the page) and in the html code body enter

Code:

---

<a name ="top">

---

at the bottom of the page put your link or link image "Back to Top"
give it this link (do not autocorrect)

Code:

---

#top

---

test in browser

Thanks. Did that but I notice that Google Chrome does not seem to work. Any thoughts please?

Save the attached *cross-browser-bookmark-tweak.xar file.
To use it, drag and drop the file into your page and position where the bookmark this page message is to appear.
Works (and tested) in all browsers.
