Adding a "Bookmark This Page" link

**Manawatu** · 14 September 2011, 06:08 AM

Hi All

Is it possible to create a link that automatically adds the current web page to the user's browser bookmarks when clicked?

Thanks.

Paste this code into a placeholder and position it where you want the link to appear.

Code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
if ((navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") && (parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4)) {

var url=document.URL;
var title="YOUR WEBSITE TITLE HERE";

document.write('<A HREF="javascript:window.ext');
document.write('ernal.AddFavorite(url,title);" ');
document.write('onMouseOver=" window.status=');
document.write("'Bookmark this page!'; return true ");
document.write('"onMouseOut=" window.status=');
document.write("' '; return true ");
document.write('">Bookmark this page!</a>');
}
else {
var msg = "Don't forget to bookmark us!";
if(navigator.appName == "Netscape") msg += " (CTRL-D)";
document.write(msg);
}
// End -->
</SCRIPT>

Sorry that was untested

This one does work in xara.
Copy the code below and right click on your page and select Paste HTML placeholder, this will add a small rectangle which will be replaced by the code when exported. This code needs to be placed in the Head section of your page so while the rectangle is selected using the yellow tag icon name it <head>

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

/***********************************************
* Bookmark site script- © Dynamic Drive DHTML code library (www.dynamicdrive.com)
* This notice MUST stay intact for legal use
* Visit Dynamic Drive at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ for full source code
***********************************************/

/* Modified to support Opera */
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>

Then create a button or text link using the following as the url. You need to change the highlighted text to suit.
javascript:bookmarksite('BOOKMARK TITLE HERE', 'http://www.yourdomain.com')

Here is an example
