Add to favorites / Set as Homepage Block

[Gargoyle]

This goes in a Java/html box and adds the ability for your users to either add you to their favorites or set your site as their homepage.

You will OBVIOUSLY want to replace the URL that points to my site to your sites URL in ALL of the below instances where it occurs.

The Bookmark script was fetched from another post in here... Just not sure where...

function ssbookmark(title, url){
if (document.all)
window.external.AddFavorite(url, title);
else if (window.sidebar)
window.sidebar.addPanel(title, url, "")

<a href="javascript:ssbookmark('SouthSideStreetCars.org', 'http://www.SouthSideStreetCars.org')"><b>Add South Side Street Cars to your list of favorite's</b></a>

like this script, could be very useful.

That is similar but this also adds the ability to set the site as your homepage. I think I used the code from that post in the bookmark section though.

[TwinsX2Dad]

Or you might have pulled it from just about anywhere - that script is very standard.

I am noticing that your code above causes some themes to move out - the block created by this doesn't always render correctly.

I am looking at it to see what bugs might be worked out.

[yeshaib]

Thank you

[crip]

The code is strait forward, it works good in a script block..

[miyagi]

Greetings,

The buttons aren't there anymore so I can't check it out.  However, I did see a couple of things I really liked.  For instance that Top Posters Section at the bottom.  Oh wait, that looks like it is maybe some fancy dhtml using a div class called windowbg.  Perhaps I will have to look into that.

Oh, and I really like your requirements.jpg on the site.  Any chance you wouldn't mind if I borrowed that for mine?

[akulion]

Yup you'll need to edit the url to your forums url and also edit ur site name, im not sure if it'll work - but it shud do. if not ul have to mess around with it.

[akulion]

yea the functions in each browser are different for bookmarking
so causes a conflict

[falguni1]

I sill cant get how to make this your homepage

I have the bookmark code

I want the homepage code, the homepage code here doesnot work, it only opens the site, doesnot make it your homepage.
