I have an ASP.NET web page having a button in it. Clicking the button, a bookmark should be saved in the browser and when the user clicks the bookmark, it should surf to http://google.com.
How do I make sure that it works with almost all the standard browsers or at least with IE, Mozilla Firefox, Opera and Google Chrome.
Another case, I create a 2nd bookmark also in the same way. But when the user clicks upon the 2nd bookmark, it should run a piece of JavaScript code.
Can't be done for security reasons. It used to be possible using a proprietary IE command but I think that ended in IE 7. Definitely impossible in the others.
In Firefox as far as I know there is currently no function that adds a regular bookmark. Only a sidebar bookmark can be created in Firefox.
Here you can find a script that works for most browsers: http://labnol.blogspot.com/2006/01/add-to-favorites-ie-bookmark-firefox.html
As you can see at this line:
window.sidebar.addPanel(title, url,"");
it only adds a sidebar entry for Firefox, which is not very user friendly.
