"Add to Favourites" button

[Leprakawn]

I know the code used to make an "add to favourites" button is this:

<a href="javascript:window.external.AddFavorite('URL goes here','URL title goes here')">Add me to your favourites.</a>

However, this works for IE. Is there a way to make it cross-browser compatible?

This is the code we are currently using on our site, and it works just fine in Firefox 1.0.7:

<a href="#" onmousedown="addBookmark('DCEvolution','http://dcevolution.net/')" onmouseover="return overlib('Bookmark us.')" onmouseout="return  overlib('www.dcevolution.net - www.dcevo.com',DELAY, 1000);"><img  src="./images/bookmark.gif" alt="Bookmark" width="10" height="28" border="0" /></a>

and this is the js code for that function:

function addBookmark(title,url) {
if (window.sidebar) { 
window.sidebar.addPanel(title, url,""); 
} else if( document.all ) {
window.external.AddFavorite( url, title);
} else if( window.opera && window.print ) {
return true;
}
}

I think that's all there is to it on our site (I'm not sure, as that code is legacy code from our last programmer - before my time).

Thanks, Curtiss!

even with all the problems internet explorer creates for html and css coders it is still used by the majority and you don't have to install a dhtml plugin. i love it
