Firefox add to favorites code
I have updated the javascript code, below, for my website as I noticed the add to favourites link didn’t bookmark websites in Firefox. I have now updated the code so that this is compatible with both Firefox and IE but I’ve noticed this is opening the url in the sidebar window instead of a full browser page. If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know as so far I’ve only found examples which do the same or only work in IE.
Firefox add to favorites code:
<script type=”text/javascript”>
function bookmarksite(){
if (document.all)
window.external.AddFavorite(location.href, document.title);
else if (window.sidebar)
window.sidebar.addPanel(document.title, location.href, “”)
}
<% /script>
<% a href=”javascript:bookmarksite()”> Add to favorites< /a>
thanks, works well

Not tested but I believe the code for safari would be something like:
a href=http://www.google.com” title=”Google web search” rel=”sidebar”
As for Safari I have no idea, I found this page while googling how to do it in Safari.
