JavaScript code to add Bookmarks/Favorites in IE/Netscape/Opera

We can add a link in the web pages which allows users to add the web page in the Favorites/Bookmarks list of IE/Netscape/Opera web browsers.

To achieve this we need to write a JavaScript function, say "AddToFavorites", and add a hyperlink. On click of the hyperlink, just call the JavaScript function "AddToFavorites".

Use following code snippet to add hyperlink in your web page:

<a href="#" onmousedown="AddToFavorites('eTechPlanet.com','http://www.etechplanet.com')" >Add to Favorites</a>

and the JavaScript function  "AddToFavorites" can be defined as below:

function AddToFavorites(siteTitle, siteURL)
{ 
   if (window.sidebar)
   {
      window.sidebar.addPanel(siteTitle, siteURL,""); 
   }
   else if(document.all)
   { 
      window.external.AddFavorite(siteURL, siteTitle); 
   }
   else if(window.opera && window.print)
   { 
      return true;
   }
}
