JavaScript Code to Add Bookmarks/Favorites

JavaScript code to add Bookmarks/Favorites in IE browsers.

We can add a link in the web pages which allows users to add the web page in the Favorites/Bookmarks.

 

To achieve this we need to write a JavaScript function, say "AddToFavorites", and add a hyperlink. And call the JavaScript function "AddToFavorites" by clicking the hyperlink.

 

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

<a href="#" onmousedown="AddToFavorites('google.com','http://www.google.co.in')" >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;
    }
}
